Surface Tension
Surface tension arises from cohesive forces at a liquid's surface. It explains why droplets form, why liquids wet surfaces differently, and why some insects can stand on water. This converter helps compare SI and CGS surface-tension units. It is useful in chemistry, coatings, materials science, and fluid research.
