The particle of mass m is moving in time t on a trajectory given by, →r=10αt2^i+5β(t−5)^j
Where α and β are dimensional constants.
The angular momentum of the particle becomes the same, as it was for t=0, at timet= seconds.

Solution
→r=10αt2^i+5β(t−5)^j →v=d→rdt=20αt^i+5β^j →L=m(→r×→v) =m[10αt2^i+5β(t−5)^j]×[20αt^i+5β^j] →L=m[50αβt2^k−100αβt(t−5)^k]
At t=0,→L=0 ⇒50αβt2−100αβt(t−5)=0 t−2(t−5)=0 t=10sec
