1 11.7   Angular Momentum Figure shows a particle of mass m with linear momentum as it passes through point A in an xy plane. The angular momentum, of this particle with respect to the origin O is a vector quantity defined as: The direction of the angular momentum vector is given by the right-hand rule. It is perpendicular to the plane formed by the position and linear momentum vectors. SI unit of angular momentum = kg · m2/s = J.s

2 11.8/9   Newton’s Second Law The (vector) sum of all the torques acting on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of the angular momentum of that particle.

3 11.10 The Angular Momentum of a Rigid Body Rotating About a Fixed Axis

4 11.11 Conservation of Angular Momentum
If the net external torque acting on a system is zero, the angular momentum of the system remains constant, no matter what changes take place within the system.

5 11.11 Demonstration on Conservation of Angular Momentum

6 Angular Momentum in Sports
The springboard diver. Long jump.
