Fig. 4.

(A) Distribution of the initial droplet dimensionless height $h_0/{\ell }_c$ (from $n=754$ VPS-8 droplets, ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_1=400$ rpm). The dashed curve is a log-normal fit ${\mathcal{L}\mathcal{N}}_{\mu ,\sigma }$ with $\mu =0.034$ and $\sigma =0.36$. (B–D) Distribution of the final VPS-8 hair dimensionless height $h/{\ell }_c$ as the acceleration is increased from B to D, $n>379$ hairs per histogram. The initial distribution fit is shown as the dashed curve while the distribution predicted by our model is the solid curve (shear modulus fitted to $G=\left\{41.5,24.7,54.9\right\}$ Pa respectively leading to $\tilde{\alpha }=\left\{1.93,6.36,9.21\right\}$). (E) Representative pictures of the experiments shown in A–D. (Scale bar, 5 mm.) (F) Theoretical evolution of the initial drop distribution as $\tilde{\alpha }$ is increased (Eq. 4).
