es inversely as thesquare of k. Thus, the less the damping, the greater isthe absolute value of the maximum kinetic energy.Further, from (12) we see that for any given value of L 146 SOUND CHAP. IV A, the less k is the greater is the absolute value of thekinetic energy corresponding to this… … Fig. 39a.—Kinetic Energy of Forced Vibrations. 97. Sharpness of Resonance.—We may now consider,as a function of n and k, not the absolute value of thekinetic energy, but the ratio which it bears to its possiblemaximum with the given k, which value is only attainedfor A = 0. Denoting this ratio by…
