Statement A: Surface tension has same units as force gradient
Statement B: Surface tension is the force gradient along the surface of liquid
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement A is true and statement B is true
Option A is correct because surface tension and force gradient both have the same units (N/m), and surface tension is indeed the force gradient along the surface of a liquid.
