1. A magnetic tape,which comprises a nonmagnetic layer comprising nonmagnetic powder and binder on a nonmagnetic support, and comprises a magnetic layer comprising ferromagnetic powder and binder on the nonmagnetic layer, wherein:

  • the combined thickness of the magnetic layer and the nonmagnetic layer is less than or equal to 0.80 μ

    m;

    the logarithmic decrement as determined by a pendulum viscoelasticity test on a surface on the magnetic layer side of the magnetic tape is greater than or equal to 0.010 but less than or equal to 0.050;

    the coefficient of friction as measured on a base portion of the surface on the magnetic layer side is less than or equal to 0.35; and

    the logarithmic decrement is determined by the following method;

    securing a measurement sample of the magnetic tape with the measurement surface, which is the surface on the magnetic layer side, facing upward on a substrate in a pendulum viscoelasticity tester;

    disposing a columnar cylinder edge which is 4 mm in diameter and equipped with a pendulum 13 g in weight on the measurement surface of the measurement sample such that the long axis direction of the columnar cylinder edge runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the measurement sample;

    raising the surface temperature of the substrate on which the measurement sample has been positioned at a rate of less than or equal to 5°

    C./min up to 80°

    C.;

    inducing initial oscillation of the pendulum;

    monitoring the displacement of the pendulum while it is oscillating to obtain a displacement-time curve for a measurement interval of greater than or equal to 10 minutes; and

    obtaining the logarithmic decrement Δ

    from the following equation;
