The SI unit of surface tension is

  • A.\(Nm^{-1}\)
  • B.\(Nm^{-2}\)
  • C.\(Nm^{2}\)
  • D.\(Nm\)
  • E.N

Answer: A

The SI unit of surface tension is \(Nm^{-1}\).

Surface tension is force per unit length acting along the surface, so its unit is newton per metre. Equivalently it is surface energy per unit area, J m−2, which is the same thing.

N m−2 is the unit of pressure, N m is the unit of work or torque, and N m2 and N alone have no such meaning here.
