Surface Tension of Water, Capillary Action, Cohesive and Adhesive Forces - Work & Potential Energy

This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the surface tension of water. Surface tension prevents small amounts of water from flattening out across a surface. Rather, it causes water to minimize its surface area and as a result, water forms small beadlike droplets. This video also discusses the capillary action of water as it is draw up through small tubes known as capillaries. Surface tension can be calculated by divided the force per unit length required to increase the area of a fluid. The surface tension opposes the force and attempts to minimize the area. The work required to increase the area of a fluid by a force is the surface tension multiplied by the increase in area. This video discusses the difference in the capillary effects between water and mercury. Water rises above the surrounding fluid level in a thin glass tube where as mercury descends below that line. The adhesive forces in water is greater than the cohesive forces. In Mercury, the cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces. Adhesive forces exist between different molecules and atoms. Cohesive forces exist between the same type of molecules and atoms.

    Is this given area wire the area of ​​one face or is it the area of ​​both sides? Because if it is the area of ​​one face, we must multiply it by 2, but if this is the area of ​​both sides, then we put it as it is.

    One way to understand this is this: the wire is contacting the reservoir in a rectangular manner, but in a thin wire the perimeter is simply the length times two, we can neglect the width in that case. So the actual force is along two side of the wire (not really SIDES but the wire (round) touching a flat surface makes it a line of intersection) . Hope this helps. so force total need the whole length. I am afraid his explanation is wrong and so is the use of 1/2

    Think of it has: Area=LxW(which is same as 2L). Note that this formula (surface tension=F/2L) is for objects with two surfaces in contact with water surface while (surface tension=F/L) is for objects with one surface in contact with water surface. Why work=yA is because Lxd is same as LxL(metre2)
