Surface tension is basically a force acting on the surface of a fluid.
so the units will be newtons(N) and dimensions are MLT-2
But generally we talk in terms of surface tension coefficients which is surface tension per unit length.

Surface tension is perpendicular force acting per uint length of an imaginary line stretched on the surface of a liquid. Therefore, SI units will be N/m, since the value of surface tension for all liquids is very low therefore it is commonly mentioned as mN/m. Dimensions formula for surface tension will be MT-2.In another case Surface tension is also measured as work done to streach a unit surface area of a film, in that case units will be J/m2.K SinghThe unit of tension is the same as the unit of force - in the metric system this is the newton (N).

To Tenderwire, who supplied the above answer: No. Tension is a stress (as is compression), which is measured in pascals (N/m2).
The si unit for tension is N/m(newton per meter)
N/m
dynes/cm

It is surface tension.
Liquids tend to form spherical droplets because of surface tension. There is energy associated with the surface tension, and since a sphere has the minimum surface to volume ratio, it has the minimum surface tension related energy for a given amount of liquid. (It is a general principle in physics that things tend toward a minimum energy state.)
Soap breaks the surface tension of water. Pepper will only float where there is strong surface tension.
Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.
The unit of surface tension is N/m in S.I. system and dyne/cm in C.G.S. system.

No. Unit of surface tension is energy per area. An extensive property divided by an extensive property becomes intensive.
Surface tension is defined as the elasticlike force that exists at the surface.
it's attraction force that attract the surface of fluid toward under
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
The surface tension doesn't have any formula,it's just a property on surface of liquid to hold out an external force. However it's dimensional formula is [MT-2], with its standard unit as Nm-1 .
Surface tension is found in Liquid
define coefficient of surface tension
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
