4. A convenient way to measure damping in a single-degree-of-freedom system is called logarith-
mic decrement of free response. Consider the free response given by (4). Let's denote t₁ and
t2 denote the times corresponding to two consecutive displacements ₁ and 2 measured one
cycle apart, i.e.,
where
t₂ = t₁ + T
