Water is made up of 2 hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. It's chemical name is dihyrogen monoxide.
The overall compound has no charge, positive or negative, but at an atomic level the parts of the molecule have a slight charge. Hydrogen slightly positive, oxygen slightly negative. Think of it as the Disney Mickey Mouse symbol! Uniquely in water, these slight changes attract the opposing charged molecule in another compound. So the negative oxygen atom of one water molecule attract a positive hydrogen atom of another molecule.

These bonds give water molecules a bond with each other. It's why water beads together on glass. This bond can be broker very easily, eg by putting your hand in water. But if you are a very small insect, there will be enough of this "Surface Tension" force to support your weight.

Define and explain the concept of rigid body?
The relative position of the points on any object will not change at any application of force, then it is called rigid body. The relative position of the points on any object will not change at any application of force, then it is called rigid body.

Can you explain surface tension?
it's attraction force that attract the surface of fluid toward under
Is the force called tension?
No, but force can result in tension.
What are the 5 examples of tension force?
Tension force in a rope or string holding an object suspended. Tension force in the cable of a cable car or elevator carrying passengers up or down. Tension force in the strings of a musical instrument like a guitar or violin. Tension force in a spring being stretched or compressed. Tension force in the cables supporting a bridge or a flagpole.
What is the correct symbol for tension force?
The symbol for tension force is usually represented as "T".
What is a pulling force in a rope called?
A pulling force in a rope is called tension. Tension is the force exerted by a rope when it is pulled taut by two opposing forces.
Is tension force an balanced or unbalanced force?
Tension force can be either balanced or unbalanced, depending on the situation. When the tension in a rope or string is equal and opposite to other forces acting on an object, it is a balanced force. If the tension is not equal to other forces, then it becomes an unbalanced force.
What is force of tension?
The force of tension is the pulling force exerted by a string, cable, or chain when it is attached to an object and subject to an external force. It is responsible for keeping the object in equilibrium and preventing it from moving. The magnitude of the tension force is equal to the force applied to the string.
What is the force tension?
Force tension is the force experienced by an object when it is pulled or stretched. It is a type of force that occurs in a rope, cable, or any object that is being stretched or pulled. The magnitude of tension is equal to the force applied to stretch or pull the object.
Which type of force is exerted on the support ropes of a hammock when you lie in it?
The support ropes of a hammock experience tension force when you lie in it. This tension force is a result of the hammock's weight pulling down on the ropes, which in turn creates an equal and opposite force of tension in the ropes to keep the hammock suspended.
What is the difference between torsion force and tension force?
Torsion force is the twisting force applied to an object, causing it to rotate around an axis. Tension force is the pulling force applied to an object, stretching it in the direction of the force. In simple terms, torsion force causes rotation while tension force causes elongation.
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
Which type of force is exerted on the ropes of a hammock when you lie in it?
Tension
