Surface Tension & Capillary Action

Buoyancy and Floatation

Surface Tension
Surface tension occurs at the interface of the liquid and a gas or at the interface of two liquids.
Surface tension (σ) is inversely proportional to temperature.
It acts when fluid is at rest.
It is a surface phenomenon.

Non-Newtonian Fluids

Buoyancy and Floatation

Types of Fluid
Newtonian Fluid
Non-Newtonian Fluid
Non- Newtonian Fluids
These types of fluids do not obey Newton’s Law of viscosity. The relation between Shear Stress and Velocity gradient is given by the following formula-
