example suppose a weight W to be suspended from the right-hand end of the cord and to be held in equilibrium by a force F applied atthe left-hand end. If F is just large enough to prevent W from fallingthen the cord will be on the point of moving to the right, therefore 0 ismeasured in the… … The value of T drops very rapidlywith the increase of 0. This factis made clear by drawing the graphof equation (4), Fig. 45. The graphmay be constructed easily by making use of the half-value period of thecurve. If P denotes the period, then, by definition, the ordinate is reducedto one-half its…
