Need Formula for Surface Tension
I went on ScienceBuddies to get the formula which is F=2sd where F is force, s is surface tension, and d is the legth of the needle. I know how to get the F and d, but I need to have the s which is the actual surface tension alone.But I don't know how to do this!

Re: Need Formula for Surface Tension
Hi,
If you know F and d you can find s. It is s= F/2d.
The Science Buddies experiment on this is

You can check out the reference links in the Bibliography section for more information Yiu nay also be interested in this wikipedia article on surface tension:
