      The author considers an interesting problem of a floating drop and proves the existence of solution in the radially symmetric case. The proof is based on a detailed study of the associated complicated system of nonlinear differential equations, which are coupled by different contact angle conditions. The case of a light drop as well as the case of a heavy floating drop are studied.
