comment What is it called when a fluid will “jump” to grab onto an object that comes very close?
Adhesion? There's probably a more technical term for it, that's just what I know from basic chem.

comment When is the principle of virtual work valid?
I appreciate the response. I understand your answer regarding how sliding frictional forces are not 'unduly hampering'. But I still don't see why the principle of virtual work is not true when sliding friction forces are present? To me, I am thinking that if the friction force is not a constraint force, then the principle of virtual work should say nothing about it.

comment Potential of a spherical conductor next to a point charge
This is my own problem, add whatever constraints you like. :)

comment Potential of a spherical conductor next to a point charge
Ok, I see what you're saying, but we are justified in using the method of images because of the uniqueness of solutions to laplace's equation when boundary values are specified. In your post we are deriving the boundary condition from the method of images, which I'm not sure is legitimate.
