请帮忙分析这个句子!
It is held there by the force of surface tension without which water would drain instantly from any wet surface,leaving it total ly dry
请教这个句子的结构,顺带翻译,最好能详细讲解一下without which 这两个词在句中的作用与成分,

Answer 1

它被表面张力所支撑着,而水从任何湿润的表面耗干一直到完全干燥,是不需要表面张力的.
It is held there by the force of surface tension 主句
without which water would drain instantly from any wet surface 定语从句
先行词是 the force of surface tension ,准确来说是 the force
