A door of mass 20 kg, width 1.2 m, height 2.5 m, and thickness 3 cm is swinging with an angular velocity of 10 rpm. What is the angular momentum of the door?
a.96 kg*m^2/s
b.10 kg*m^2/s
c. 2.5 kg*m^2/s
d. 63 kg*m^2/s
Mass of the door = M = 20 kg
Width of the door = L = 1.2 m
Height of the door = H = 2.5 m
Thickness of the door = T = 3 cm = 0.03 m
When viewed from above the door looks like a rod rotating about it's end.
Moment of inertia of the door = I
I = 9.6 kg.m2
Angular velocity of the door = = 10 rpm = 10 x (2/60) rad/s = 1.047 rad/s
Angular momentum of the door = L
Angular momentum of the door = 10 kg.m2/s
