The section of the thesis that you quoted was aiming to reproduce a proof by Keller (Phys. of Fluids, 1998) that demonstrated the vertical surface tension force is equal to the "Archimedean" buoyant force. That the suspension of a floating object can be explained by either buoyancy or surface tension, and that these pictures are equivalent, was the goal of the passage. I don't blame you for feeling that it didn't make sense, it is indeed a groundbreaking idea. | |
