r? = 10αt²î + 5β (t-5)?
v? = dr? /dt = 20αtî + 5β?
As L? = m (r? × v? )
So, at t=0, L=0
given L is same at t=t as at t=0
⇒ r? × v? = 0
⇒ (10αt²î + 5β (t-5)? ) × (20αtî + 5β? ) = 0
⇒ 50αβt² (î×? ) + 100αβt (t-5) (? ×î) = 0
⇒ 50αβt² k? - 100αβt (t-5) k? = 0
⇒ 50t² - 100t (t-5) = 0
⇒ 50t² - 100t² + 500t = 0
⇒ -50t² + 500t = 0
⇒ 50t (10 - t) = 0
⇒ t = 10 second
