$A$ thin horizontal disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its fixed centre $O$. Its angular momentum is $L_A$ and $L_B$ computed about points $A$ and $B$, respectively, with $OB = 2 \times OA$. The value of $\frac{L_A}{L_B}$ is :

Two wheels are connected by a belt. The radius of the larger wheel is three times that of the smaller one. What is the ratio of the rotational inertia of the larger wheel to the smaller wheel,when both wheels have the same angular momentum?

Define angular momentum.

$A$ mass $M$ hangs on a massless rod of length $l$ which rotates at a constant angular frequency $\omega$. The mass $M$ moves with steady speed in a circular path of constant radius $r$. The angular momentum of $M$ about point $A$ is $L_A$,which lies in the positive $z$-direction,and the angular momentum of $M$ about point $B$ is $L_B$. Which of the following statements is correct for this system?

Find the components along the $x, y, z$ axes of the angular momentum $\vec{l}$ of a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r}$ with components $x, y, z$ and momentum is $\vec{p}$ with components $p_x, p_y, p_z$. Show that if the particle moves only in the $x-y$ plane,the angular momentum has only a $z$-component.
