equal mass: m = ρA 1 ∆x 1 = ρA 2 ∆x 2 that is, (^) A 1 m∆x 1 = (^) A 2 m∆x 2 = ρ we have P 1 + ρgh 1 + 12 ρv^21 = P 2 + ρgh 2 + 12 ρv^22 Bernoulli’s equation: P + 12 ρv^2 + ρgh = const.

At same h, P + 12 ρv^2 =const.

Bernoulli’s effect means the higher flow speed and therefore lower pressure.

y 1 = A sin(kx − ωt) y 2 = A sin(kx + ωt) y(x, t) = y 1 + y 2 = A sin(kx − ωt) + A sin(kx + ωt) Since sin α + sin β = 2 sin(α+ 2 β) cos(α− 2 β ) we have y(x, t) = 2A cos(ωt) sin(kx) The points of permanent zero displacement are called nodes; the points of maximum displacement are called antinodes.
