help! surface tension
i am doing a physics experiment on the relationship between a liquids temperature and resulting surface tension. i am going to record the various surface tension of various liquids at different temperatures. the only problem is, is that I am not sure how to accurately measure the surface tension. I've looked on the internet but the methods seem a bit complicated. i would like something simple that hopefully won't take to long to do. if anyone has any ideas or experience in this area please let me know. it would be much appreciated. thanks
also, i know that as temperature increases surface tension decreases, but does anyone know what sort of relationship would exist between the surface tension of a liquid and its temperature. is is linear, exponential,etc?
thankyou
