Q1 · Physics
Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at and can be taken to be very wide in the direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension and density , the liquid surface makes angle () with the -axis at . If is the height of the surface then the equation for is :
(take , g is the acceleration due to gravity)
The figure, described in words
Graph of liquid surface y(x) in tank: curve rising towards the wall at x = L, meeting it at angle theta_0 with the horizontal.
