Q.

A particle of mass m projected with a velocity 'u' making an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The magnitude of angular momentum of the projectile about the point of projection when the particle is at its maximum height h is _____.          [2024]

1 316mu3g  
2 32mu2g  
3 mu32g  
4 zero  

Ans.

(1)

Velocity of particle at maximum height

v=ucos30°=u32

Maximum height, h=u2sin230°2g=u28g

Magnitude of angular momentum

|L|=hmv

       =(u28g)m(u32)=3mu316g
