Hello again. A device like that shouldn't move if placed in water? Thanks
Couples develop torque moments.
Thank you for the answer. And is for you plausible a device like that moves? For example i fix laterally,does it rotate in circle?
Does the two class cilinders receive same downward force due to adhesion force of water? Thanks again
It has a potential energy minimum at some angle. At that angle there will be no more net torque.
Yes,bu the glass cilinder "feels" attraction force of the water like if the left case? This is what i ment

I suggest that you visit the Museum of Unworkable Devices. Take a look at their capillary action section..
thanks
