Is angular momentum of a system always conserved ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the angular momentum of a system is always conserved, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Angular Momentum Angular momentum (L) of a system is defined as the product of the moment of inertia (I) and the angular velocity (ω) of the system. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ L = I \cdot \omega \] ### Step 2: Introduce Torque Torque (τ) is defined as the rate of change of angular momentum with respect to time. This relationship can be expressed as: ...
