On the shape of a small sessile drop and the measurement of contact angle.
Free liquid surfaces in equilibrium are described by the Laplace capillary equation with suitable boundary conditions generally given in terms of the contact angle. By a fortuitous formulation in the axisymmetric case, the second order ordinary differential equation can be reduced to a pair of coupl...
