can someone please explain how to plot on log log 2 paper?

Question

I have some data (lengths and times) that I need to put into a graph using log log paper with 2 cycles. But I have no idea how to do it. The log log paper is labled 1-10 2-10 on both the x and y axis, and my data is like: (85cm, 18.7 sec), (76cm, 17.4sec)... and so on. Can someone explain it to me?

Answer 1

In log paper the tick marks are not evenly spaced, but they represent, anyway, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; then the next tick mark, a bit farther away, is not 11 but 20, the next one 30, 40, 50... to 100. It's good to label them with these numbers. If all your data are between 1 and 100 do it that way, then 85, for example, should be plot somewhere between the 80 and the 90 tick marks. If some of your data are larger than 100, or smaller than 1, you can instead choose to label the tick marks 10, 20, 30, ... 100, 200, ... 1000, or 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ... 1, 2, ... 10, or other intervals like that.
Good luck!
