Angular Momentum

The momentum of an object is given by multiplying its mass and velocity. Momentum is a property of any object that moves with mass. The only difference between angular momentum and linear momentum is that angular momentum deals with moving or spinning ob…

Moment of a Force

The idea of moments is an important concept in physics. It arises from the fact that distance often plays an important part in the interaction of, or in determining the impact of forces on bodies. Moments are often described by their order [first, second…

Textbook Question

Chapter 13, Problem 48PQ

Two particles of mass m₁ = 2.00 kg and m₂ = 5.00 kg are joined by a uniform massless rod of length ℓ = 2.00 m (Fig. P13.48). The system rotates in the xy plane about an axis through the midpoint of the rod in such a way that the particles are moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s. What is the angular momentum of the system?
