surface. As expected, the as-placed contact angle, θAP, of a sessile drop on a horizontal
surface decreases with the drop size due to the increase in hydrostatic pressure. We present
a theoretical prediction for θAP which shows that it is a unique function of the advancing
contact angle, θA, drop size, and material properties (surface tensions and densities). We
test our prediction with published and new data. The theory agrees with the experiments …
