Image:BernoullisLawDerivationDiagram.png

This is a diagram for one derivation of Bernoulli's Equation. I created this image using MetaPost; in order to produce the raster form, I compiled the source with MetaPost, embedded the resulting file in a pdfLaTeX document, viewed the PDF file with GSview (I tried Acrobat Reader, but its antialiasing was rather poor), and took a screen capture.

The MetaPost source code for this image is provided below (it is licensed under the same licenses as the image) in order to allow easy modification of the image. It's not particularly well-written code (one of my goals in creating it was to learn MetaPost), but anyone who might find it useful can try to make some use of it.
