Expalin why?

(c) Surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface

Answer

Surface tension is the force acting per unit length at the interface between the plane of a liquid and any other surface. This force is independent of the area of the liquid surface. Hence, surface tension is also independent of the area of the liquid surface.
