Question

A small mass m is attached to a massless string whose other end is fixed at P as shown in the figure. The mass is undergoing circular motion in the x-y plane with center at O and constant angular speed ω. If the angular momentum of the system calculated about O and P are denoted by L0 and Lr respectively, then

Solution

The correct option is C

L0 remains constant while Lr varies with time


L0=m(r×r0)×v=mrer×mret=mωr2^zL=m(r×re)×v=m(rerh^z)×mret=mhωrer+mωr2^z
