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 10:51 comment added Asphir Dom How fast do you think the droplet SHOULD go?

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.
