That would be the "pressure" on the surface.

Why is water considered sticky?
Adhesion and it is stated in the force per unit area required to prise the two surfaces apart. In SI units this would be mega Pascals. 1 Newton force per square meter area is equal to 1 Pascal (1Pa).
Is surface tension is extensive property?
No. Unit of surface tension is energy per area. An extensive property divided by an extensive property becomes intensive.
Pressure is defined as what?
It is force per unit area applied in the direction which is perpendicular to the airfoil of the object. It's usually used instead of force to define the influence on the behavior of fluid. It can be divided into other portions such as gauge pressure, which is pressure relative to the local air or ambient pressure. Its measure by any unit of force divided by any unit of area. The Newton per square meter or SI unit called the Pascal is the measuring unit. Everyday pressures are stated in kilopascals.
Why does reducing solute size particle size increase the speed at which the solute dissolves in water?
For the amount of material in the particle the surface area of a small particle is greater than a larger particle. Said another way, the surface area per unit volume is greater for a smaller particle. Dissolving speed is related to the surface area. Therefore a smaller particle dissolves faster than a larger particle.
How is pressure volume equal to a joule?
How can the pressure acting on the surface be increased by the force acting on the surface?
Simply pressure is the force per unit area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force applied. Hence by increasing the force we can increase the pressure.
How is pressure realted to force and area?
Pressure is the force acting per unit area.
How can you explain surface tension?
it's attraction force that attract the surface of fluid toward under
What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
What is the force per unit area acting on a solid?
pressure
How do you define pressure?
The pressure that pushes down on us all day.
What name is given to the force acting on a unit area of an object?
newton
What name is given to the force acting on unit area of an object?
newton
What is surface tension and how does it work?
It is the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist external force. It is caused by the cohesion of like molecules. An example would be the separation of oil and water.
Definition of surface tention?
the surface tention of aliquid is the force per unit length on the surface that opposes the expansion of the surface area
The measure of force with which the air molecules are pushing on a surface?
it is AIR PRESSURE
Does pressure increase with the amount of force per unit area?
Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure. In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.
