Cassidy Norman · Answer 1

Actually, surface tension is the to force per unit length. That means formula for surface tension is = force/length. As we know that the dimensional formula for length is L. And that for force is MLT^-2. So the dimensional formula for surface tension can be obtained by dividing the dimensional formula of force and length.
