A particle is projected with a speed v at 45° with the horizontal. The magnitude of angular momentum of the projectile about the point of projection when the particle is at its maximum height h is
Zero
mvh²/√2
mv²h/2
mvh/√2

Solution:

Angular Momentum = momentum × ( Perpendicular distance of momentum from axis of rotation )

Angular Momentum = mv cos (45º) × h = mvh/√2
