Question 1 Report
(a) Derive the dimension of surface tension.
(b) Name the instrument used to measure the force of gravity at a place
(a) SURFACE TENSION = \(\frac{\text{force}}{\text{length}}\)
FORCE = mass x accel. due to gravity
Dimension of force = M.LT\(^{-2}\)
Dimension of length = L
Dimension of surface area = \(\frac{MLT^{-2}}{L}\) = MT\(^{-2}\)
(b) The instruments used for measuring the force of gravity at a place are:
(1) Gravimeter, (2) Spring balance, (3) Gravitational accelerometer.
