What is the difference between buoyancy and water surface tension?
Buoyancy is the force exerted by the weight of water displaced by an object that is at least partially submerged in the water. Surface tension a force of attraction exerted between water molecules at the waters surface interface. Something can not become submerged in the water until this surface tension is broken. Surface tension is a very weak force and can be overcome physically or by changing the chemistry at the surface (adding a wetting agent).
What force helps a ship float?
displacement of water
How does buoyancy float?
Buoancy is the upward force that keeps things floating. I guess it doesn't need surface tension.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy
Does buoyancy affect surface tension?
yes it does when they touch the particle dies(atomns)
When a lead ball is placed on the surface of a viscous oil and is released which are the three forces acting on the ball?
gravity, buoyancy, surface tension.
What are three forces acting on a water glider when it is standing on a still pond?
One is "surface tension" which allows the spider to walk on water ; see related link .
Is surface tension and water tension the same?
yes
Is surface tension and surface water the same?
yes
What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
What is it that its units are newtons per meters?
surface tension has same dimension as that of?
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
What is surface tension coefficient?
define coefficient of surface tension
