MadSci Network: Engineering |
Tough question but I found some helpful information on the Internet by doing a quick search on Altavista, using the terms +water+surface+tension. I don't know what your results are showing you as far as a trend goes but if you think about it, the surface tension should be increasing as the temperature gets colder. The molecules are getting closer together as the temperature decreases, so the surface of the liquid should be getting more "sturdy". Anyway, here are some interesting links that might help you some more with the concepts: Water surface tension properties Properties of water Soap films and surface tension I hope this information helps a bit. Good luck finishing your report! Kieran
