A drop of some liquid of volume
is placed on the surface of a glass slide. Then another glass slide is placed on it in such a way that the liquid forms a thin layer of area
between the surfaces of the two slides. To separate the slides, a force of
dyne has to be applied normal to the surfaces. The surface tension of the liquid is (in dyne-
)
