On equilibrium of pendant drop its flexural rigidity of intermediate layer being accounted for
We consider equilibrium of the axisymmetric drop pending from horizontal plane in the gravity field. Variational principle is formulated. It takes into account the energy necessary for the formation of the intermediate layer whose flexural rigidity is also considered. We prove existence of the solution of this problem and show that it is a classical solution of the nonlinear equation representing Euler condition for it.
