The difference between (187) and (188) must be equal to the relative<br />
deflection of the diaphragm, Qb3/(3E 3 1 3 ). From this requirement,<br />
one finds<br />

and fl, f2 and f6 are given in Appendix B.<br />
As an example of the results given by (189), values of Q/P were<br />
computed <strong>for</strong> successive values of H = H, = H 2 of 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0,<br />
taking (b/a) = 0.2 and letting H 3 assume various values. The results
