Excess Pressure Inside a Liquid Drop
The difference in inside & outside pressure is called EXCESS PRESSURE
(Pex).

Excess Pressure Inside a Liquid Drop
Due to ST, the surface of a liquid drop tend to contract and compresses the
enclosed matter due to which pressure inside increased.
For Equilibrium of the drop :
The difference in inside & outside pressure is called EXCESS PRESSURE (Pex)

 Angle of Contact

The angle between the surface of the liquid and the outline of the contact
surface is described as the contact angle θ . The contact angle (wetting
angle) is a measure of the wettability of a solid by a liquid.
