Bernoulli's Equation Applied to Two Free Surfaces

256bits

Quote by Studiot

That's an interesting assertion for a free surface of a liquid.

Would you like to explain it?

P1 is the pressure of the liquid in container 1 at the same level as the surface of container 2.
P1 is NOT the pressure of the free surface of container 1 which is causing the confusion here.

The energy level at the two free surfaces 1 and 2 are of course not going to be equal.
By how much - by the value P1 = pgh1.
