The degree of the differential equation (1−(dydx)2)3/2=kd2ydx2\left(1 - \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\right)^{3/2} = k \frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Squaring both sides to remove the fractional exponent: (1−(dydx)2)3=k2(d2ydx2)2\left(1 - \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\right)^3 = k^2 \left(\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2}\right)^2. The highest order derivative now appears with power 2, so degree =2= 2.
