$A$ thin rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is struck at one end by a ball of clay of mass $m$,moving with speed $v$ as shown in the figure. The ball sticks to the rod. After the collision,the angular momentum of the clay-rod system about $A$,the midpoint of the rod,is:

The angular momentum of a flywheel having a moment of inertia of $0.4\, kg\, m^2$ decreases from $30\, kg\, m^2/s$ to $20\, kg\, m^2/s$ in a period of $2\, s$. The average torque acting on the flywheel during this period is ......... $N\, m$.

$A$ 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?

$A$ constant torque of $200 \, N-m$ turns a flywheel, which is at rest, about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. If its moment of inertia is $50 \, kg-m^{2}$, then in $4 \, s$, what will be the change in its angular momentum?

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.
