If the water droplets drip onto a very cold metal surface, they freeze quickly, but during the freezing process, the shape of the water droplets changes and they often become sharp, frozen droplets. This phenomenon is caused by the expansion of water during freezing and surface tension, which causes the droplet to grow taller each time it freezes in a conical shape as the volume in the upper layer of the drop increases. In this article, we will try to investigate the effect of surface tension and other parameters on this process by conducting a series of experiments.
