What is surface tension, Physics

Assignment Help:

It is found that when a liquid is free from the external forces, it always gets the shape of a spherical drop. It is due to, for a needed mass, a sphere has the least field area. It seems that the field of each liquid has usually a tendency to have least field area and in this respect, it functions like a stretched membrane having a force in all directions parallel to the surface. This force in the surface of a liquid is called as surface tension.
