V is best parts, therefore t = 22.5 seconds. This determines thefirst point of the curve (P, Fig. 2). The initial accelerationis seen at once to be 1.26 m. p. h. per second. The nextinterval considered will be that in which the speed increasesfrom 29.5 to 30.0 m. p. h. This is 0.4 seconds. The speedis now 30 m. p. h. and the total time from start is 22.9seconds. From now on the interval [ will be consideredconstant at either i, 2, or 4 m. p. h., depending on the ac-curacy required. The slide rule can now be set to read. ^O 60 Seconds FIG. -1
