AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the correct formula for calculating hx in physics, specifically whether it should be [(V1)^2 - (V2)^2] / 2g or [(V1 - V2)^2] / 2g. Initially, there was confusion, but a referenced link clarified that the latter formula is correct, involving a combination of Bernoulli's principle and momentum balance. Participants acknowledged their mistakes and confirmed the accuracy of the link's explanation. The conversation highlights the importance of verifying equations in physics to avoid misunderstandings. Ultimately, the correct approach to solving the HX equation was established through collaborative discussion.

however , in this link , the hx is [ (V1- V2)^2] / 2g ... which one is correct ? [ [(V1)^2] - [(V2)^2 ] ] / 2g or [ (V1- V2)^2] / 2g ??

please refer to pg 6 & 7
 
Confusing indeed. Have to withdraw my "Yeah" in post #2 -- o:) -- and turn it into a "Nope".
From your link it appears that a combination of Bernoulli and momentum balance indeed leads to this 4.28 in post #1.
So: we stand corrected ! Well done ! (your part at least...:smile:)

ok , so the link is correct ? i understand the expaination provided in the link and kniow my mistake already.
 
My "Yeah" has lost some of its weight, but: yeah :smile:

i thought your yeah mean 'yes'
 
In short: yes, the links in post #1 and also in post #3 are correct. In fact the link in #2 agrees quite well. (more egg on face...)
And yeah, I mean yes with "yeah" and no with "nope". Bad habit on a forum like PF, I know. But I can't help it ?:) .
