English

Once solvent molecules are entrapped within the network, they are immobilized by surface tension effects.

Water striders use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water.

en.wikipedia.org

The sphere therefore appears in nature: for example, bubbles and small water drops are roughly spherical because the surface tension locally minimizes surface area.

en.wikipedia.org

It is during this process that a characteristic pressure pattern develops (see picture), which is evaluated for determining the surface tension.

en.wikipedia.org

Here, "is the viscosity," p "the pressure, and" the surface tension.

en.wikipedia.org

The surface tension acts on the bubbles shrinking the surface and forces them back to the liquid.

en.wikipedia.org

It turns out the excess pressure due to surface tension is inversely proportional to the diameter of the bubble.

en.wikipedia.org

Surface tension is an important factor in the phenomenon of capillarity.

en.wikipedia.org

As the ring is pulled out of the liquid, the tension required is precisely measured in order to determine the surface tension of the liquid.
