Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Laplace's law, P = 2(ST/r), states that the pressure within a sphere is directly related to the sur-face tension of the liquid and inversely related to the radius of the sphere; that is, both surface tension and pressure within a sphere will change equally in the same proportion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In the Systme International d'Units system of measurements, surface tension is measured in dyne per centimeter.
