UnitConversion.onlineDefinition:
Surface tension is the energy or force required to increase the surface area of a liquid due to intermolecular forces. It is measured in newtons per meter (N/m) and is vital in understanding phenomena like capillary action, droplet formation, and the behavior of liquids in various applications.
Example Conversions:
- 1 newton per meter (N/m) = 0.1 dyne per centimeter (dyn/cm)
- 1 dyne per centimeter (dyn/cm) = 0.01 newton per meter (N/m)
