Angular momentum – problems and solutions

1. An object with the moment of inertia of 2 kg m2 rotates at 1 rad/s. What is the angular momentum of
the object ?
Known :
Moment of inertia (I) = 2 kg m2
Angular speed (ω) = 1 rad/s
Wanted : Angular momentum (L)
Solution :
Formula of the angular momentum :
L=Iω
L = angular momentum (kg m2/s), I = moment of inertia (kg m2), ω = angular speed (rad/s)
The angular momentum :
L = I ω = (2)(1) = 2 kg m2/s

2. A 2-kg cylinder pulley with radius of 0.1 m rotates at a constant angular speed of 2 rad/s. What is the
angular momentum of the pulley ?

Known :
Mass of pulley (m) = 2 kg
Radius of pulley (r) = 0.1 m
Angular speed (ω) = 2 rad/s
Wanted : Angular momentum
Solution :
