| Abstract: | We consider the hydrostatic configuration of a body floating freely on a liquid. Under the influence of gravitational and capillary forces there exists an equilibrium solution with contact angle π/2. This solution is the minimizer of a variational problem with an obstacle condition; the corresponding free boundary consists of the curve where the capillary surface meets the floating body. |
