Question:
In practice, it is often difficult to determine the logarithmic decrement of a system with light damping defined in Prob. 19.128 by measuring two successive maximum displacements. Show that the logarithmic decrement can also be expressed pressed as (1/k) In (xn/xn + k), where k is the number of cycles between readings of the maximum displacement.
