Surface tension arises from the cohesive...

Surface tension arises from the cohesive force between the surface molecules, Interplay between cohesion and adhension forces make the surface inclined at acute or obtuse angle with the contacting solid surfaces. This causes a capillary rise (or fall) given as,`h=(2T cos theta)/( rho g r)`where `theta ` = angle of contact, T = surface tension, `rho`=density of the liquid, g = acceleration due to gravity and r = radius of the capillary tube.
