Question

What is S.I. unit of Surface Tension?

• A. Dyne/meter
• B. Newton-meter
• C. Newton/meter
• D. Dyne-meter

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Newton/meter

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.
