Question:

The figure represents the measured displacement-time relationship for a vibration with small damping where it is impractical to achieve accurate results by measuring the nearly equal amplitudes of two successive cycles. Modify the expression for the viscous damping factor ζ based on the measured amplitudes x0 and xN which are N cycles apart.
