The Euler-Lagrange equation for an impurity interacting with an inhomogeneous fluid is derived and applied to a description of the polarized hydrogen system, H↑, D↑, and T↑ on the surface of liquid 4He. We find well-defined, strongly bound physisorbed states for T↑, and D↑ and a weakly bound physisorbed state for H↑.
