Here, we have four equations, Eq, (12), (13), (14% (18),
in four unknowns (xy yj, x4 and y4). This carzot be
solved by using Fig. 1 as in the previous case, Because
two relationships are graphical, and it is imposstie to
‘obtain an algebraic equation with only the xy 3 pair,
fF the xy, 4 one. The function y = y(x) is uans
‘and impractical to handle. An algebraic relation that
approximates it can be obtained by regression analysis,
With the nine points showa in the table on Fig. }. plus
the origin, one can obtain:
Y= 4612S — 12. 1145x4 4 120254x3 — 5.631078? +
2.02853x, having an “index of fi"* of 0.999968; or
1.006294 — 1.57907? + 1,54587x, with an “index
of 0.999853; and y = 0.9626x, with an “index
0f 0.994905,
For hand calculation, only the linear regression is
practical, although the “index of fit” is not too 200d.
Nevertheless, in practice, values of h lower than 18% of
D (y <0115) are not wed, and values of b higher than
80% of D are absurd, Inspection of Fig. | shows that
within the limits 0.1
