A person having a mass of 85 kg sits on the edge of a horizontal rotating platform, 2.2 m from the center of the platform, and has a tangential speed of 6.6 m/s. calculate the angular momentum of the person

Respuesta :

The angular momentum of the person is given by:
[tex]L=mvr[/tex]
where [tex]m=85 Kg[/tex] is the mass of the person, [tex]v=6.6 m/s[/tex] is the tangential velocity, and [tex]r=2.2 m[/tex] is the distance of the person from the center of rotation. Using these data, we find
[tex]L=(85 Kg)(6.6 m/s)(2.2 m)=1234.2 Kg \cdot m^2/s[/tex]
