- •
Floating of bodies heavier than the supporting liquid is discussed.
- •
Floating of objects possessing lateral dimensions smaller than the capillary length is treated.
- •
Floating these bodies is prescribed by the surface tension related effects.
- •
Elongated bodies are better supported by capillarity due to the increase in the perimeter of the triple line.
