A particle of mass m moves along line PC with velocity v as shown. What is the angular momentum of the particle about P?

A

mvl

B

mvr

C

zero

D

mvl

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The particle moves along the line PC with a linear velocity v. Since P is along its line of motion, the angular momentum of the particle about P is zero.
