QUESTION:
Problem 19CGP
Verify that a surface tension s with units N/m also can be called a surface energy with units J/m2. The latter is useful for consideration of a liquid drop or liquid in small pores (capillary).
ANSWER:
Solution 19CGP
Step 1 of 3:
We are going to verify that the unit of surface tension is equal to the unit of surface energy.
The unit of surface tension is N/m
The unit of surface energy is J/m2
We may prove this by dimensional analysis.
