According to Newtons first law a body will remain stationary unless acted on by an external force. Therefore the force required to accelerate the water droplets attached to the towel at the same rate as the towel must be less than the force which can be provided due to adhesion between the towel and water droplets otherwise the towel will move away from the water droplets as cohesion is broken
