156 SUB FACE TEN SI OX. that the curvature of the surface at m will be numericallygreater than at I or n. But this condition, according to thelaw demonstrated in Art. Ill, requires a smaller pressure justbelow m than that above, which is sensibly the same as that … 1 V r J s m—■ As Fig. 124. Fig. 125. at I or n. The difference of pressure between q and I or nthus gives rise to a resultant force which urges the bodiesinto contact. If the liquid does not wet the plates, the curvature at s(Fig. 125) requires that the pressure at u shall be greaterthan at s,…
