Abstract
We consider a solid cone whose vertex points down and dips in an infinite pool of liquid. If the cone is slowly lifted, a liquid column with its top attached to the cone is pulled out of the pool. In this paper, we compute the maximum height of the cone before the column ruptures. Two reasons for rupturing are identified. In some cases, no solution for a higher position of the cone exists. In other cases, a solution does exist, but is unstable.
