    Minimizing the energy required to break a cylinder of fluid into droplets

    I'm trying to determine the value of N for which this energy is minimized for the droplets. I found that the energy for N droplets is $$E_g = T N 4 \pi (\frac{3 A L }{4 \pi N})^{2/3}$$. At first I thought of deriving the energy by the number N and set it to zero. However, it does not work since...
