What is Surface Tension ?
Surface tension is the cohesive force at the surface of a liquid due to molecular attraction. It causes liquids to form droplets and affects their shape and behavior. Surface tension is expressed in terms of force per unit length. It plays a role in capillary action and allows insects to walk on water. Understanding surface tension is important in fields like physics, chemistry, and engineering for various applications involving liquid interfaces.
