Shape of pendant droplets under a tilted surface

J. De Coninck, J. C. Fernandez-Toledano, F. Dunlop +2

For a pendant drop whose contact line is a circle of radius $r_0$, we derive the relation $mg\sin \alpha =\frac{\pi }{2}\gamma r_0(\cos {\theta }^{\min }-\cos {\theta }^{\max })$ at first order in the Bond numb…
