Abstract
The stability of a drop of liquid hanging from the horizontal circular mouth of a tube has been investigated by means of the calculus of variations. Weak perturbations are considered, in which the volume of the drop is held constant. It is shown that the drop is stable as long as its volume increases with its height.Keywords
