Velocity the angular speed formula_27 and the magnitude of the displacement. such that Angular momentum in scalar form is the mass times the distance to the origin times the transverse velocity, or equivalently, the mass times the distance squared times the angular speed. The sign convention for angular momentum is the same as that for angular velocity. where The expression formula_33 is known as moment of inertia. If forces are in the radial direction only with an inverse square dependence, as in the case of a gravitational orbit, angular momentum is constant, and transverse speed is inversely proportional to the distance,
N. S. Satya Murthy Indian Academy of Sciences elected Murthy as a fellow in 1975. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 1979. He became an elected fellow of the Indian National Science Academy in 1981. He was also a life member of the Magnetics Society of India. The Indian Physics Association has instituted an annual award, "N. S. Satya Murthy Memorial Award" for recognizing research excellence in physical sciences among young scientists. N. S. Satya Murthy Nivrathi Suryanarayanashastry Satya Murthy (5 February 1936 – 8 October 1984) was
