I think its depends on the nature of the liquid, the surrounding environment like (Gravitational acceleration

) and temperature

What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?

Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.


What is surface tension.?

Surface tension is defined as the elasticlike force that exists at the surface.


Does the frictional force depend on the area of surface contact?

No. Frictional force is independant of surface area.


Why does liquid take the shape of a sphere when in zero gravity and gases does not?

It is due to surface tension. Surface tension is only for liquids. Due to surface tension surface energy is to be minimized only reducing the area. For a given volume sphere has minimum surface area. Hence spherical shape.

Does the lift depend on the surface area of the balloons?

NO...


Is surface tension is extensive property?

No. Unit of surface tension is energy per area. An extensive property divided by an extensive property becomes intensive.


What is the surface area to volume ratio?

surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.

What does the pressure on a surface depend on?

The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.


How many drops equal 0.0001l?

The volume of drop will depend on the surface tension of the liquid and is, therefore, not a fixed size.
