Derivations of basic parameters and equations
  Equations of equilibrium are,
  --------(11)
  --------(12)
  From the derivations given earlier we know,
  = ---------(13)
  and ---------(14)
 

substituting the values of the equation 13, 14 in 11,

As c and φ are not the function of x and y, i.e. H and φ are not functions of x and y, then,

Substituting the values of the equation 13, 14 in 12,

As c and φ are not the function of x and y, i.e. H and φ are not functions of x and y, then,
