Short Answer

Expert verified

The angular momentum of the particle is-4,3.8,0kg·m2/s.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Angular Momentum.

The rotating analogue of linear momentum is angular momentum (also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum). Because it is a conserved quantity—the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant—it is a significant quantity in physics.

02

 Step 2: Find the angular momentum of the particle.

Use the equation that indicates the rate of change of the particle's angular acceleration is equal to the torque acting on it.

τA=dLAdt

Here,dLAdtis the rate of change of angular momentum of particle at location A, andτAis the torque on the particle at location A.

The above expression can also be written as,

τA=LfA-LiAtf-ti

Here, LfAis the final angular momentum of the particle, LiAis the initial angular momentum of the particle, and tf-tiis the time for which the torque is applied.

Substitute 0.1sfor tf-ti10,-12,20N·mτA.3,5,-2kg·m2/sin LiA

τA=LfA-LiAtf-ti

10,-12,20N·m=LfA-3,5,-2kg·m2/s0.1s

LfA=4,3.8,0kg·m2/s

Therefore, the angular momentum of the particle at 15.1sis 4,3.8,0kg·m2/s.
