pressure - Why does Bernoulli's principle work?


So, if we have a large pipe which is constricted in the middle, the fluid in the middle section will move faster. Why is it so? What dictates that liquid that an X amount of it must pass on the other side regardless of the size of the encasement?


The only reason I could think about is because that the initial pressure which causes the movement somehow is being transferred to a smaller area, but that makes no sense.

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
