Force Balance<br />

• Consider only interfacial energy: vector<br />

sum of the forces must be zero to<br />

satisfy equilibrium.<br />

• These equations can be rearranged to<br />

give the Young equations (sine law):<br />

€<br />

γ 1<br />

sin χ 1<br />

γ 1b 1 +γ 2b 2 +γ 3b 3 = <br />

0<br />

= γ 2<br />

sin χ 2<br />

= γ 3<br />

sin χ 3
