Same type of thing with me. I'm down for a roundish earth, as I stated in my first post in this thread, but this flat water thing is bugging me.
There are various factors MS, from molecular adhesion and cohesion, as well as the principles behind meniscus. The variables depend on area size, surface tension, etc. It all boils down to how water behaves on a molecular level, multiplied into the billions and trillions, depending on volume, depth, surfaces, etc.
To understand the physics, you have to account for the specific factors in each specific example.
When regarding water in a volume, especially a massive one like a lake or an ocean, gravity must be factored into the equation. This is why poptarts charts and graphs fail, as they don't take into consideration the basic molecular response and resonant reaction of water molecules and volume in consideration of gravitational forces.
Do that particular mathematics and you will find a very different and fascinating answer.
Again, adhesion, cohesion and meniscus. Key terms.
Apply them with volume versus depth and surface tension, then do your math.
I realize this is above tart's understanding and Google abilities, but it still answers your question...IF you do the research.
Understanding azimuth in regards to surfaces, height and distance also helps, when considering viewpoints.
