Comment on It’s the little things
yuri@pawb.social 3 weeks agothe cloth attracts it because of the capillary action pulling water into the gaps therein, and capillary action relies on surface tension! i think without outside forces like suction, the liquid in this scenario would never flow against gravity.
i think hahah

Surface tension doesn’t tell you anything about the cloth-water interface.

i mean it’s literally why liquids wick into cloth

late reply but i ONLY JUST CONSIDERED, the cloth would most likely have some static charge which WOULD result in a literal “attraction force” towards the water!
physics is so stupid, i love it so much
