`kg s^(-1)`

B

`kg s`

C

`kg s^(-2)`

D

`kg s^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length perpendicular to the line drawn on the surface of liquid. It is denoted by the Greek letter `gamma` (gamma) . It has dimensions of force//length , i.e., `(kg m s^(-2))/(m) rArr kgs^(-2)`. In `SI` unit , it is expressed as `N m^(-1)`.
