    A particle of mass m is projected with a velocity v at an angle of 60° with horizontal. When the particle is at its maximum height. The magnitude of its angular momentum about the point of projection is

    A) zero                                      

    B) \[\frac{3m{{v}^{3}}}{16g}\]

    C) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}m{{v}^{3}}}{16g}\]                           

    D) \[\frac{3m{{v}^{3}}}{8g}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Maximum height, \[H=\frac{{{v}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}{{60}^{o}}}{2g}\] \[=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{2g}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3{{v}^{2}}}{8g}\] Momentum of particle at highest point \[p=mv\cos \,{{60}^{o}}=\frac{mv}{2}\] Angular momentum = pH \[=\frac{mv}{2}\times \frac{3{{v}^{2}}}{8g}\] \[=\frac{3m{{v}^{3}}}{16g}\]
