Breaking surface tension. Water striders usually denser than water to float and slide on a water surface. Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. The general formula for measuring surface tension is. The result is a break in the surface tension of the water.

The result is a break in the surface tension of the water. Gamma represents surface tension f represents force and d represents the length along which the force is felt.
