摘要

We derive an analytical expression for the frequency of the shape oscillations of a diamagnetically levitated water droplet, in which the equilibrium shape is not spherical. We give the eigenfrequencies of all modes to first order in the oscillation amplitude and potential energy of the magnetogravitational trap confining the droplet. We compare the result with experimental measurements of the eigenfrequencies.
