I have been able to do this with derivatives but I can't figure out how to do this with definite integrals
Consider a classical of freedom" that is linear rather than quadratic: E = clql for some constant c. (An example would be the kinetic energy of a highly relativistic particle in one dimension, written in terms of its momentum.) Repeat the derivation of the equipartition theorem for this system, and show that the average energy is E= kT.
Albert Einstein is pondering how to write his (soonto-be-famous) equation. He knows that energy E is a function of mass m and the speed of light c, but he doesn't know the functional relationship (E = m2c? E = mc4?). Pretend that Albert knows nothing about dimensional analysis, but since you are taking a fluid mechanics class, you help Albert come up with his equation. Use the step-by-step method of repeating variables to generate a dimensionless relationship between these parameters, showing all of your work. Compare this to Einstein's famous equation—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation?
