Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of surface tension of liquid mercury, 435.5dyn/cm, in units of N/m is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Surface tension is the tension of a liquid surface that causes due to the attraction of liquid particles in the liquid surface by the liquid particle present in the bulk of the liquid. The surface tension tries to attain minimum surface area. The formula of surface tension is given by the expression shown below.
