===Gallery=== <gallery widths="160px" heights="120px" class="center"> Image:UnstableLiquidSheet.jpg|Breakup of a moving sheet of water bouncing off of a spoon. Image:SurfaceTension.jpg|Photo of flowing water adhering to a hand. Surface tension creates the sheet of water between the flow and the hand. Image:Ggb in soap bubble 1.jpg|A soap bubble balances surface tension forces against internal [[pneumatic]] [[pressure]]. Image:2006-01-15 coin on water.jpg|Surface tension prevents a coin from sinking: the coin is indisputably denser than water, so it must be displacing a volume greater than its own for [[buoyancy]] to balance mass. Image:3_Moeda_(5).jpg|An aluminium coin floats on the surface of the water at 10 Β°C. Any extra weight would drop the coin to the bottom. Image:Dscn3156-daisy-water 1200x900.jpg|A daisy. The entirety of the flower lies below the level of the (undisturbed) free surface. The water rises smoothly around its edge. Surface tension prevents water from displacing the air between the petals and possibly submerging the flower. Image:Surface Tension 01.jpg|A metal paper clip floats on water. Several can usually be carefully added without overflow of water. Image:Paperclip floating on water (with 'contour lines').jpg|A metal paperclip floating on water. A grille in front of the light has created the 'contour lines' which show the deformation in the water surface caused by the metal paper clip. </gallery>
