The position vectors of two $1 \ kg$ particles,$(A)$ and $(B),$ are given by $\overrightarrow{r}_{A} = (\alpha_1 t^2 \hat{i} + \alpha_2 t \hat{j} + \alpha_3 \hat{k}) \ m$ and $\vec{r}_B = (\beta_1 t \hat{i} + \beta_2 t^2 \hat{j} + \beta_3 t \hat{k}) \ m$,respectively. Given $\alpha_1 = 1 \ m/s^2, \alpha_2 = 3n \ m/s, \alpha_3 = 2 \ m, \beta_1 = 2 \ m/s, \beta_2 = -1 \ m/s^2, \beta_3 = 4p \ m/s$,where $t$ is time,$n$ and $p$ are constants. At $t = 1 \ s$,$|\overrightarrow{V}_{A}| = |\overrightarrow{V}_{B}|$ and the velocities $\overrightarrow{V}_{A}$ and $\overrightarrow{V}_{B}$ are orthogonal. At $t = 1 \ s$,the magnitude of angular momentum of particle $(A)$ with respect to particle $(B)$ is $\sqrt{L} \ kg \ m^2/s$. The value of $L$ is:
