Abstract

The calculations presented are an extension of the work of Bashforth & Adams (1883) to give the shapes of pendant drops of liquids for values of β from — 0.25 to — 0.6 at intervals of 0.025. The results have been used to calculate, to an accuracy of 0.001 to 0.01 %, the constants needed for measuring surface and interfacial tensions by the method suggested by Andreas, Hauser & Tucker (1938), which has thus been made independent of calibration.
