In some books, the way Euler’s equation is derived arrives atwhich is an alternative form of the same thingIn problems where f (y,yx), i.e. where there is no explicit variation with x,this form is easily seen to reduce toIntegrating with respect to x ..… another form.An irrelevant problem to show how the idea works.Before we go on to look at mechanics, lets have an example that shows us thatthis purely mathematical derivation when put together with a principle fromphysical insight solves interesting physical problems.BubblesSuppose we have two co-axial wire hoops with a soap film on them as in thediagram below.同轴线圈张成肥皂膜Can we calculate the shape that the soap film will take up?The key is to understand what functional to use.. so we think about the physicsand realise that the soap film pulls itself in-plane so that it takes up the minimumarea (forget about its weight under gravity).Thus we choose to use the area as the functional to define the problemTherefore the variational equation is.. no explicit dependence on x不显函 xSo, apart from the 2π factorSo we can use the simplest form of Euler’s equationjust putting in fRemember we do the partial differentiation with respect to yx as if it isindependent of y.(Differentiate a function of a function of yx.)So
