The unit of surface tension is same as that of _________ Correct Answer surface energy per unit area

Surface tension is defined as force per unit length or surface energy per unit area. The unit is therefore N/m. Another unit people use is J/m2 (where J refers to joule, the unit of energy). But obviously it is equal to Nm/m2 = N/m.
