This is Giancoli Answers with Mr. Dychko. Angular momentum is moment of inertia times angular velocity and for a point mass moving in a circle of radius r, the moment of inertia will be mr squared. So we have 0.270 kilograms times 1.35 meters squared times 10.4 radians per second which gives about 5.12 kilogram meter squared per second of angular momentum.
hi shouldn't we need to convert the rad/s to m/s for the angular velocity which is 10.4?
Hi Darwisyadeniea, thanks for the question. The angular momentum calculation calls for the angular velocity, which has units of radians per second, so there's no need to convert to m/s.
All the best,
Shaun
