A solution of a differential equation is any relation between the variables, which, when substituted in the given equation, will satisfy it. The general solution of an ordinary differential equation of the nth order will contain n arbitrary constants.
Page 163 - S s2 dm are the moments of inertia of the body with respect to the planes of yz, zx and xy, respectively.
Page 167 - Thus, we see that the general solution of a differential equation of the nth order must contain n and only n independent arbitrary constants.

As before, the instantaneous torque acting on the moving coil of the dynamometer during discharge is given by (22) where q is the quantity of electricity in the condenser at any instant. Multiplying by dt and replacing Tdt by its value from equation (12), and integrating, we get £=»tnai /•«=<> du=-gl> (23) __ 0 */q=Q...
Page 38 - II. Orthogonal Trajectory A curve that intersects every member of a family of curves according to some law is called a trajectory of the family. If two families of curves such that every member of the either family cuts each member of the other family at right angles, then they are called Orthogonal trajectories (OT) of each other. In stead of right angles, if they cut each other at constant angle then they are called Isogonal trajectories.
