Choose a conversion from 2 Surface Tension units.

Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid's surface to minimize its area. It is measured in newtons per meter (N/m) and explains why insects can walk on water and why soap bubbles form spheres. Water has a relatively high surface tension of about 0.0728 N/m at 20°C.
