Surface Tension
Beginning of paper
My problem was to find out how to test or measure . I
think the reason of some of the force in is cohesion and
gravity. is the condition existing at the free surface of a
liquid, resembling the properties of an elastic skin under tension. The tension
is the result of intermolecular forces exertin ....

.... of this tension, as in the case of
mercury, which forms an almost round ball when a small quantity is placed on a
horizontal surface. The near-perfect spherical shape of a soap bubble, which is
the result of the distribution of tension on the thin film of soap, is another
example of this force; surface tension alone can support a needle placed
horizontally on a water surface.
Surface tension depends mainly upon the forces attraction between the
particles within the given liquid and also u ....
