Computation for t = 1 of the force (in arbitrary units) that is proportional to the electric field created at position z = 0 by the water dipoles and their images in the vicinity of the triple line. The computation is given for three different κ ratios, which fall close to the conditions experienced by water deposited on an alumina layer. Observe the linear variation as a function of n2(EF) within the range 0.1 ≤ n2(EF) ≤ 0.5 of data that is available for the moment. The inset shows the same data, but with the x-axis labelled according to R values
