Animation of a drop of water falling from a tap. While still connected to the tap, surface tension counters the gravitational pull until the drop becomes too large and heavy to be supported. This animation is made of 18 separate images, not all of the same water drop, but different pictures of different drops arranged to make them look like a series of pictures of one drop.
