A solid disk, spinning counter-clockwise, has a mass of 1kg and a radius of 3m. If a point on the edge of the disk is moving at 9ms in the direction perpendicular to the disk's radius, what is the disk's angular momentum and velocity?

1 Answer

Angular Momentum L=13.5 kgm2second
Angular Velocity ω=3 radsec

Explanation:

Angular Momentum L=Iω

where I=12mr2 Moment of inertia

I=12(1)(32)=4.5 kgm2

Angular Velocity

ω=vr

ω=93=3 radiansecond

Angular Momentum
L=Iω

L=4.53=13.5 Kgm2sec

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
