Surface Tension - Definition and Experiments By Andrew Zimmerman Jones The units of surface tension are either energy per unit area or force per unit length. Examples of Surface Tension Surface tension allows some insects and other small animals, which are denser than water, to walk across its s...
1.1 Surface tension and its definitionSurface tension is one of the most fundamental properties of liquid and solid phases.Surface tension governs a diversity of natural or technological effects, including floa-ting of a steel needle, capillary rise, walking of water striders on the water surface,...

Energy state of soil moisture, a measure of the amount of energy per unit mass of water that must be invested to transform soil moisture into pure, free water at a specified elevation. Soil moisture potential is also expressed in terms of soil moisture tension, being a measure of the tenaci...
We note that by definition, the excess free energy at the interface per unit area is the surface tension. We therefore report excess energies and entropies also in the unit of per area. The entropic contribution to the surface tension is calculated as the difference between the surface tension...
Jumping behaviour and the physical constraints on performance—In the theory of water strider’s surface-tension dominated jumps3, one dimensionless variable plays a crucial role:ΩM1/2. It is a complex variable and its full definition and formula are given in the Methods section: “Physical cons...
(surfactants) at the surface modifies surface tension causing a smooth, oil slick-like appearance20(Fig.1d). The convergent flow can accumulate dense aggregations of plankton including larval fish and invertebrates at or below the ocean surface8,21,22,23,24,25,26. Historical research on ...
