(N/A) Angular momentum $(L)$ is defined as the product of the position vector $(r)$ and linear momentum $(p)$,given by the formula $L = r \times p$.
Since $p = mv$,the dimensions of angular momentum are $[M^1 L^1 T^{-1}] \times [L^1] = [M^1 L^2 T^{-1}]$.
The $SI$ unit of mass is $kg$,velocity is $m/s$,and distance is $m$.
Therefore,the $SI$ unit of angular momentum is $kg \cdot m^2/s$ or $J \cdot s$.

Consider a body,shown in the figure,consisting of two identical balls,each of mass $M$,connected by a light rigid rod of length $L$. If an impulse $J = Mv$ is imparted to the body at one of its ends,what would be its angular velocity?

$A$ thin uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $m$ is kept on a frictionless horizontal table with a massless string of length $L$ fixed to one end (top view is shown in the figure). The other end of the string is pivoted to a point $O$. If a horizontal impulse $P$ is imparted to the rod at a distance $x = L/n$ from the mid-point of the rod (see figure), then the rod and string revolve together around the point $O$, with the rod remaining aligned with the string. In such a case, the value of $n$ is:

$A$ particle is moving along a straight line parallel to $x-$ axis with constant velocity. Its angular momentum about the origin

$A$ particle moves along a circular path with decreasing speed. Hence,

$A$ particle of mass $1 \ kg$ is moving with a linear velocity of $2 \ ms^{-1}$ parallel to the positive $X$-axis. During this motion,its minimum distance from the origin is $12 \ cm$. The angular momentum of this particle about the origin is ....... $Js$.
