Buoyancy is the force exerted by the weight of water displaced by an object that is at least partially submerged in the water.
Surface tension a force of attraction exerted between water molecules at the waters surface interface. Something can not become submerged in the water until this surface tension is broken. Surface tension is a very weak force and can be overcome physically or by changing the chemistry at the surface (adding a wetting agent).
What else can I help you with?
What are the different forces of water?
Some different forces of water include surface tension, buoyancy, and drag. Surface tension refers to the cohesive forces between water molecules that create a "skin" on the surface. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in water, counteracting gravity. Drag is the resistance that water exerts on an object moving through it.
What is the difference between liquids with high surface tension and liquids with low surface tension?
Liquids with high surface tension have stronger forces between their molecules at the surface, causing them to form droplets and resist spreading. Liquids with low surface tension have weaker forces, allowing them to spread out more easily and wet surfaces.
What is the difference between high and low surface tension and how does it affect the behavior of liquids?
Surface tension is a measure of how strongly the molecules in a liquid are attracted to each other at the surface. High surface tension means the molecules are strongly attracted, creating a strong "skin" on the surface. Low surface tension means weaker attraction, resulting in a more spread-out surface. High surface tension causes liquids to form droplets and have a curved meniscus in a container, while low surface tension allows liquids to spread out more easily and wet surfaces better.
What is the tightness across the surface of water is called?
Surface tension is the tightness across the surface of water caused by the attraction between water molecules.
Surface tension is directly proportional to?
Surface tension is directly proportional to the cohesive forces between the molecules of a liquid. The stronger the cohesive forces, the higher the surface tension.

How does buoyancy float?
Buoancy is the upward force that keeps things floating. I guess it doesn't need surface tension.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy
Does buoyancy affect surface tension?
yes it does when they touch the particle dies(atomns)
When a lead ball is placed on the surface of a viscous oil and is released which are the three forces acting on the ball?
gravity, buoyancy, surface tension.
How are buoyancy and surface tension the same?
no because our profecional science teacher said no and hes never wrong.
What is the relation between surface tension and acceleration?
i think that acceleration is directly proportional to surface tension.....

What is the relationship between density and surface tension?
as we know the relation between surface tension and temperature is inverse, and that of temperature and density also has inverse proportion, then it is clear that the '''surface tension is directly proportion to the density'''.
What is the difference between surface tension and interfacial tension?
interfacial tensions are similar to surface tensions in which cohesive forces are also involved but the major forces are adhesive forces (tension) between liquid phase of one substance and either solid liquid or gas phase of another substance and interaction occurs at their surfaces
What is the tightness across the surface of water is called?
Surface tension is the tightness across the surface of water caused by the attraction between water molecules.
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in liquids and it is the result of the cohesive forces between the molecules at the surface of the liquid. This creates a "skin" on the surface of the liquid that resists external forces.
