Water droplets


(Click on the above image to see the Complete picture)

If you leave your half filled water bottle in your car for a day or two, tiny water droplets form at the top of the bottle near the cap.

Here's a dumb question: How come droplets hold a circular shape and not a triangular, rectangular or any other shape?

Answer lies in Surface tension

Ummm... Surface tension? Did you forget all about the viva for Soomro or Mamoon EMF at NED?

What that to do with anything?

For the record, EMF viva was not taken by 'Mama' and Soomro never taught Mechanics to the Computers section.

Somehow I feel Mama is behind the droplets being spherical.
