  5. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as razor blades and insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged. At liquid–air interfaces, surface ...

    Classical mechanics. In physics, a couple is a system of forces with a resultant (a.k.a. net or sum) moment of force but no resultant force. [1] A more descriptive term is force couple or pure moment. Its effect is to impart angular momentum but no linear momentum. In rigid body dynamics, force couples are free vectors, meaning their effects on ...
