The
state
in
which
a
solid
or
liquid

into
the
shape
that
it
would

if
it
were
a
calm
(equilibrium)
liquid.
Mathematically,
this
means
a
sphere
if
it
is
not
distorted
by

if
rotating
moderately,
and
piriform
if
rotating
beyond
the
ellipsoidal
limit.
When
in
contact
with

such
as
oil
drops
on
or
in

other
