When X is very large, the equation to the curve of energyis Y=(h — xy, which is the equation to a parabola, \vith avertical axis parallel to Y and distant h… … Hence, the axis of Y is asymptotic on both sides to the cuireof energy. Then, if the line of momentum intersects the curve ofrigidity, the curve of energy has a maximum vertically under-neath the point of intersection neaier the origin, and a minimumiinderneath the point more remote. But if there…
