Angular Momentum & Newton's Second Law
16. Angular Momentum / Angular Momentum & Newton's Second Law / Problem 1

A 1.5 kg stone is launched horizontally with a velocity of 14.0 m/s at the top of a 10 m high cliff (point A). A recording camera is located on the ground below at a point 15 m from the base of the cliff (point B). Determine the magnitude and direction of the stone's angular momentum relative to the camera at the moment it is launched.
