Therefore the smaller real root of (61) belongs to a minimum and the larger to a minimax. However the system may change under loss of energy the w and v of fig. 14 must always go from a curve of higher to one of lower energy. When the energy is greater than that for which the point A appears in fig. 14, the curves give us no positive knowledge regarding the series of changes the system may undergo, except that if at any time w = u + v<M it has always been, and will always be, less than M, and the opposite. But if the energy is less than that for which A appears in fig. 14, then, if at any.
