Feb 6, 2014 at 12:03 | comment | added | Michiel | @MukulKumar and Asphir Dom - I have updated my answer to include an estimate of the velocity of the droplet which indeed depends on the angle of the string | |
Feb 6, 2014 at 11:19 | comment | added | Mukul Kumar | @Asphir Dom it is a lot slow with a constant speed(assuming to have no slack in string) and yes the speed depends on the angle of string (as angle increases the speed increases) | |
Feb 6, 2014 at 11:01 | comment | added | Asphir Dom | Energy goes on removing/rearranging water from(in) the droplet and overcoming molecular forces (surface/volume tension). | |
Feb 6, 2014 at 10:57 | comment | added | Asphir Dom | Ok! so if its not falling then THAT is the reason why it goes so slow. And btw how slow it is? does it depend on the angle of the string? If i put on the inclined plane bread with butter down it will also go slow. | |
Feb 6, 2014 at 10:54 | comment | added | Mukul Kumar | @Asphir Dom for an ideal liquid it should fall off thread and should drop with an acceleration of g if thread has any angle(other than 90 degree with ground) | |

Feb 6, 2014 at 2:47 | comment | added | Mukul Kumar | by seeing this image carefully i think that the fibers of thread take majority of energy and @michel i'll add an image as soon as possible | |
Feb 5, 2014 at 19:32 | comment | added | Michiel | @Kvothe I think this is mainly governed by a specific type of friction, namely that caused by contact line pinning | |
Feb 5, 2014 at 18:46 | comment | added | Kvothe | Friction is a good bet, both from air friction as from the rope (I'm assuming it's vertical?). Essentially, the droplet (and the rope) are getting warmer. | |

added surface-tension tag and some minor corrections
