Angular Momentum - Example Problem 9.5-5

 

A 3-lb particle moving through space has a linear momentum of G = i - 3j + 5k lb-s. Calculate the angular momentum of the particle with respect to point O if its position relative to point O is given by r = 2i + 3j - 4k ft.

 

Given:

• G = i - 3j + 5k lb-s
• r = 2i + 3j - 4k ft

 

Find:

• H_O

 

What is the angular momentum of the particle with respect to point O?

 

H_O = i + j + k slug-ft²/s
