Mathematically, surface tension can be expressed as follows:
T=F/L

 F
 L
 T

dyn/cm

As we know, surface tension is given by the formula,

Surface tension = F/L
We know that F = ma, substituting the value in the equation, we get
=ma/L
Equating the fundamental quantities into the equation, we get
=MLT-2L-1
Solving further, we get
=MT-2
Hence, the dimensional formula of surface tension is MT-2. 2

A Needle Placed On Water Can Be Made To Float Due To The
Surface Tension Of Water.

4
Warm Water Is Used For Washing Purpose As Heating Increases
The Surface Area And Reduces Surface Tension.

Water Striders Are Insects That Can Walk On The Surface Of

Water Because Of Surface Tension Of Water

5
Soaps And Detergents Also Work On The Basis Of Surface Tension. They Lower
The Surface Tension Of The Water So That The Soaps And Detergents Easily
Soak Into The Pores And Holes.

 The Water Bubbles Are Round

Because The Surface Tension Of
Water Provides The Tension To Form
The Bubble With The Water And The
Surface Tension Minimizes The
Bubble Into Spherical Shapes.

Surface Tension Changes In Biological Phenomena Can Determine
Various Diseases In The Human Body.
