Equilibrium Liquid Shape Close to a Vertical Plate

Equilibrium Liquid Shape Close to a Vertical Plate 

Let us consider a vertical plate partially immersed in a liquid of density, p, and surface tension, y. 

In this case, only the capillary and gravity forces act, and the equation that describes the liquid profile is as follows  

Multiplication of the latter equation by h and integration with jc results in
