Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

A particle of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is projected with a velocity '$\mathrm{u}$' making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The magnitude of angular momentum of the projectile about the point of projection when the particle is at its maximum height $\mathrm{h}$ is :

  1. A $\frac{\mathrm{mu}^3}{\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~g}}$
  2. B zero
  3. C $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \frac{\mathrm{mu}^2}{\mathrm{~g}}$
  4. D $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{16} \frac{\mathrm{mu}^3}{\mathrm{~g}}$ Correct answer

Solution

<p>$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{L}=m u \cos \theta H \\ & =m u \cos \theta \times \frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g} \\ & =\frac{m u^3}{2 g} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\frac{\sqrt{3} m u^3}{16 g} \end{aligned}$$</p>
