Potential forces influence liquid shape around rotating spheres in space.

Abstract

Concept of curvature of liquid surrounding a spherical surface seems obvious in daily life, but based on earthly conditions everywhere. However, our understanding about the concept seems more transparent when we keep the system out of the usual earthly condition i.e. without gravity. Although existence of forces like adhesion and cohesion along liquid surface come to the fore even in the presence of other force like gravitational ones, but without gravity these forces are solely responsible for kind of observable phenomenon. Also, we introduced a form of force responsible for providing a form of potential dominating over the gravitational one. The discussion was provided an ingenious approach, by conserving surface energy, it still explains a lot about what can be done more to explore other properties of rotating liquids in free space.
