Phase relationships in inertive and elastic elements: Inertial pressure leads flow by 90 degrees (solid ball on left represents a mass); elastic pressure lags flow by 90 degrees (expanding balloon on right represents an elastic element). Thus inertive and elastic pressures are 180 degrees out of phase, and cancel each other out when they are equal in magnitude (at the resonant frequency)
