Height of Liquid Meniscus at a Wall. A liquid meniscus forms against a vertical wall as illustrated in the figure. Assuming that the relevant parameters for this problem include the height of the meniscus at the wall hw?, density of liquid ?, surface tension of the liquid ?, contact angle against the wall ?, and the gravitational acceleration g, use dimensional analysis to derive a set of applicable dimensionless groups, and then use similitude analysis to predict the value of hw? on the Moon. Also given: hw?=1.5mm on Earth ?,?, and ? are the same on Earth as on the Moon g=9.8m/s2 on Earth and g=1.6m/s2 on the Moon
