A particle of mass m moves along line PC with velocity v as shown. What is the angular momentum of the particle about O:
A
mvL
B
mvl
C
mvr
D
Zero.
Answer
mvl
Explanation
Solution
Angular momentum = linear momentum × Perpendicular distance of line of action of linear momentum from the axis of rotation = mv×1
