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!

[@FluidMatters]

Glad it helped!

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

[@FluidMatters]

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

Thank you so much

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

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.
