What is S.I. unit of Surface Tension?(a) Dyne/meter(b) Newton-meter(c) Newton/meter(d) Dyne-meterThe question was posed to me in an online interview.Enquiry is from States of Matter in chapter States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Newton/meter

Explanation: Surface Tension is the TENDENCY of a FLUID to occupy least surface AREA as possible. It is defined as the force per unit DISTANCE. So, the units of surface tension are Newton/meter in S.I. the SYSTEM, Dyne/cm in C.G.S system.
