FTP, name this tendency of a liquid to minimize its exposed area, causing capillary action.
One method of measuring this quantity was modified by both Ramay and Shields and Guggenheim and Katayama, and contains a V to the 2/3 term and is used to relate this quantity to temperature. In addition to the Eotvos's rule, the Tolman length measures the deviation from its planar value. The Marangoni effect is where a difference in this quantity causes the transfer of mass, and Laplace's Law states the inverse relationship between this value and alveolar radius. Often measured in dynes per centimeter, its effect is lowered by surfactants, and it is responsible for "tears of wine" and the ability of water striders to walk on water.
