    A particle of mass $m$ moves along line PC with velocity $\nu$ as shown. What is the angular momentum of the particle about P?

    A particle of mass 2 kg is on a smooth horizontal table and moves in a circular path of radius 0.6 m. The height of the table from the ground is 0.8 m. If the angular speed of the particle is 12 rad s-1, the magnitude (in kg m2s-1) of its angular momentum about a point on the ground right under the centre of the circle is :

    Angular Momentum
    • The moment of linear momentum of a body with respect to any axis of rotation is known as angular momentum. If  P is the linear momentum of a particle and its position vector from the point of rotation is r then angular momentum is given by the vector product of  linear momentum and position vector. 

                                             

    $
    \begin{aligned}
    \vec{L} & =\vec{r} \times \vec{P} \\
    \vec{L} & =\vec{r} \times \vec{P}=\vec{r} \times(m \vec{V})=m(\vec{r} \times \vec{V}) \\
    |\vec{L}| & =r p \sin \theta, \text { where } \theta \text { is the angle between } \mathrm{r} \text { and } \mathrm{p} . \\
    |\vec{L}| & =m v r \sin \theta
    \end{aligned}
    $

    - Its direction is always perpendicular to the plane containing vector r and P and with the help of right hand screw rule we can find it.

    Its direction will be perpendicular to the plane of rotation and along the axis of rotation
    - $L_{\text {max }}=r * P\left(\right.$ when $\left.\theta=90^{\circ}\right)$
    - $L_{\text {min }}=0\left(\right.$ when $\left.\theta=0^0\right)$
    - SI Unit- Joule-sec or $\mathrm{kg}-\mathrm{m}^2 / \mathrm{s}$
    - Dimension- $M L^2 T^{-1}$
    - In case of circular motion

    As $\vec{r} \perp \vec{v}$ and $v=\omega r$ and $I=m r^2$

    $
    L=m v r=m r^2 \omega=I \omega
    $


    So in vector form $\vec{L}=I \vec{\omega}$
    - The net angular momentum of a system consists of $n$ particles is equal to the vector sum of angular momentum of each particle.

    $
    \vec{L}_{n e t}=\vec{L}_1+\vec{L}_2 \ldots \ldots+\vec{L}_n
