Dimension Angular Momentum 1Ec2F4
1. **Problem Statement:**
Derive the dimensions of the following physical quantities:
i) Angular Momentum
ii) Specific Heat Capacity
2. **Angular Momentum Dimension Derivation:**
Angular momentum $L$ is defined as the product of moment of inertia $I$ and angular velocity $\omega$:
$$L = I \times \omega$$
- Moment of inertia $I$ has dimensions of mass times length squared:
$$[I] = M L^2$$
- Angular velocity $\omega$ is the rate of change of angle with respect to time, so its dimension is:
$$[\omega] = T^{-1}$$
Therefore, the dimension of angular momentum is:
$$[L] = [I][\omega] = M L^2 T^{-1}$$
3. **Specific Heat Capacity Dimension Derivation:**
Specific heat capacity $c$ is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree:
$$c = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$$
- Heat energy $Q$ has the dimension of energy:
$$[Q] = M L^2 T^{-2}$$
- Mass $m$ has dimension:
$$[m] = M$$
- Temperature difference $\Delta T$ has dimension:
$$[\Delta T] = \Theta$$
Thus, the dimension of specific heat capacity is:
$$[c] = \frac{M L^2 T^{-2}}{M \Theta} = L^2 T^{-2} \Theta^{-1}$$

4. **Problem Statement:**
Solve the differential equation:
$$(x^2 + y^2) \frac{dy}{dx} = xy$$
5. **Solution Steps:**
Rewrite the equation:
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{xy}{x^2 + y^2}$$
Divide numerator and denominator by $x^2$ (assuming $x \neq 0$):
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y/x}{1 + (y/x)^2}$$
Let $v = \frac{y}{x}$, so $y = vx$.
Then:
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x \frac{dv}{dx}$$
Substitute into the differential equation:
$$v + x \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{v}{1 + v^2}$$
Rearranged:
$$x \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{v}{1 + v^2} - v = v \left(\frac{1}{1 + v^2} - 1\right) = v \left(\frac{1 - (1 + v^2)}{1 + v^2}\right) = -\frac{v^3}{1 + v^2}$$
Divide both sides by $x$:
$$\frac{dv}{dx} = -\frac{v^3}{x(1 + v^2)}$$
Separate variables:
$$\frac{1 + v^2}{v^3} dv = -\frac{1}{x} dx$$
Rewrite left side:
$$\left(\frac{1}{v^3} + \frac{v^2}{v^3}\right) dv = \left(\frac{1}{v^3} + \frac{1}{v}\right) dv$$
Integrate both sides:
$$\int \left( v^{-3} + v^{-1} \right) dv = -\int \frac{1}{x} dx$$
Calculate integrals:
$$\int v^{-3} dv = -\frac{1}{2 v^2}, \quad \int v^{-1} dv = \ln |v|$$
So:
$$-\frac{1}{2 v^2} + \ln |v| = -\ln |x| + C$$
Rewrite:
$$\ln |v| + \ln |x| = \frac{1}{2 v^2} + C'$$
Combine logarithms:
$$\ln |v x| = \frac{1}{2 v^2} + C'$$
Recall $v = \frac{y}{x}$, so $v x = y$:
$$\ln |y| = \frac{1}{2 (y/x)^2} + C' = \frac{x^2}{2 y^2} + C'$$
This implicit solution relates $x$ and $y$:
$$\ln |y| - \frac{x^2}{2 y^2} = C''$$
where $C''$ is an arbitrary constant.
**Final answers:**
- Dimension of angular momentum: $M L^2 T^{-1}$
- Dimension of specific heat capacity: $L^2 T^{-2} \Theta^{-1}$
- Solution to differential equation: implicit form
$$\ln |y| - \frac{x^2}{2 y^2} = C$$
