Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at $x = L$ and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension $S$ and density $ \rho $, the liquid surface makes angle $ \theta_0 $ ($ \theta_0 < < 1 $) with the x-axis at $x = L$. If $y(x)$ is the height of the surface then the equation for $y(x)$ is: (take $g$ as the acceleration due to gravity)
