Evaluate SL investigations by tracing energy losses, zero errors, uncertainty effects and the range over which a hypothesis is supported.
The graph shows the plotted data for this experiment. Uncertainties in the data are not shown
State one reason why the results of the experiment could not be used to predict the natural frequency of oscillation for girders of height 50 m .
the relation might not hold/extrapolate for larger values of h / outside range of experiment / values would be close to origin and with large (percentage experimental) error / girders of this height could buckle under their own weight / OWTTE;
