Using the maxima and minima we perform the adjacent calculation. The first cohimn contains the maxima and minima, the second the differences between successive values. The third gives the natural logarithms. From the last column we have to calculate ^_ g 5( - ) +3( - ) + ( ) _q ^g-,^ 6 X 35 Since the period T of the vibration from which we calculate d is very closely 100 we have 2d £=y^= The calculation rests on the assumption that for this purpose we can treat the given curve like a single frictional sinusoid. If it were such a curve the differences between the successive maxima and minima would have a constant relation. In the given curve the differences are 168, 144, 138, 102, 93, 89; the relation of each to the following one is , , , , respectively. Instead of being constant the relation varies considerably. It is due to the fact that the curve is compounded of several simpler curves and the maxima and minima result from their.
