Surface tension force on a partly submerged body

The vertical component of the surface tension force on a body partly submerged in a liquid is shown to equal the weight of liquid displaced by the meniscus. It is upward if the meniscus is depressed and downward if the meniscus is elevated. Previously this was known for vertical axially symmetric bodies and for two-dimensional vertical plates. The vertical component of the pressure force on the body is shown to equal the weight of liquid which would fill the volume bounded by the wetted surface of the body, a vertical cylinder through the waterline, and the original horizontal free surface.
