The meniscus shape, described by nonlinear ordinary differential equation \[ z''= {\rho gz- p\over\gamma} (1+ (z')^2)^{3/2}, \] for \(0< x_1\leq x\leq x_0\), is analyzed as a function of \(p\) and its static stability is investigated. Inequalities are presented for \(p\), which are necessary or sufficient conditions for the stable and convex free surface of a static meniscus. Some numerical computations are presented.
