What is the SI unit of surface tension?
1 Answer
The SI unit of surface tension is:
Newton per meter (N/m)
This unit represents the force per unit length. Surface tension can be thought of as the force required to create a new surface area. Alternatively, it can also be expressed in terms of energy per unit area, which gives the same dimensional formula:
Joule per square meter (J/m²)
Both N/m and J/m² are dimensionally equivalent and can be used interchangeably.
