Nowadays there are a lot of discussions about the validity of the classical Young equation, which determines the angle of contact between the surface of a solid and a liquid, since it does not take into consideration the effect of gravity. There is an analysis of the size of a sea-water drop on a superhydrophobic surface obtained on a sample of A40S shipbuilding steel, taking into account the ratio of the surface tension and gravity force, made in the paper. In the given experiment, the superhyd
