Abstract
Systens with a line of contact of three capillary fluids, which are fairly widely distributed in nature, began to be studied only in comparatively recent times [1–3]. The conditions for equilibrium and stability of such systems in a vessel are formulated in what follovs on the basis of variational principles.
