Surface Force in Capillarity and Surface Forces in Liquids (Curved Surfaces) Formulas

Surface Force is defined as forces exerted on the fluid element by its surroundings through direct contact at the surface. And is denoted by F_s. Surface Force is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Surface Force is always positive.
