        What is your reasoning?  The drop is initially in free fall, until
viscosity begins to play a role.  In free fall the competing forces are
surface tension and the force arising from the pressure in the liquid?

Adam was by constitution and proclivity a scientist; I was the same, and
we loved to call ourselves by that great name...Our first memorable
scientific discovery was the law that water and like fluids run downhill,
not up.
