Very clear video. If you never learn about surface tension, watching this video is enough! Slides are nice. Examples are easy to understand. You solved all confusion I have. This is the best video I about the surface tension I saw in youtube
My professor left me feeling confused about this topic until I watched this video. Everything makes sense now - the slides and examples were very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks. There's something I cant quite understand. If we do a free body diagram of the segment of the curved bulk of fluid you showed, we can see tensile forces acting across the two slanted faces but these are ignored in calculations and only the surface tension is considered. Why? I know there's an imbalance of forces on the individual molecule at the top but as a bulk in thst segment shown there are tensile forces all the way across the two faces too. I'm focusing on a FBD of that slice of the sphere.
I think you are referring to the diagram at 2:19. This is not a free body diagram. It shows the directions of the cohesive forces between water molecules, as a way to explain why the surface layer of molecules are in tension. Ultimately, the surface will deform such that the molecules on the surface will be in static equilibrium, with no imbalanced force. I hope that helps.
@@FluidMatters Thanks for thst. I'm interested in a free body diagram of thst segment to figure out why there's tension at the top edge only and not along the two radial surfaces.
That aknowledge should be used to make tests using a liquid with in the same scale when scientists are studing a what happens in/with a large ship. Like: If you are testing a ship that are in a scale 1:100, the liquit won't be water, but another that have the same tension surface (1:100) or something nearly it. But it's only the begining to discover the for the best what'll happen in a 1:1 scale.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear it was helpful.

thank you. you saved me (love)

This is a great video, really helped me understand the formulas in a more comprehensive and intuitive way, thank you !
Thank you so much

lol look at dis mans spelling oh may gawd
