It has been suggested that for liquids s3 beta4= K, is a constant, with s being the surface tension and the compressibility, show that K is not a dimensionless constant.
Dear student,
Surface tension is force per unit length.Dimension of Force is ,divided by length we get the dimensional formula of surface tension is .
Compressibility is the fractional change in volume per unit increase in pressure.Dimension of compressibility is .
K is not a dimensionless constant.
Regards.
