QUESTION: 1

### The dimensional formula for angular momentum is  [1988]

Solution:

[Angular momentum ] = [Momentum of inertia] × [Angular velocity] = ML2 × T–1
= ML2T–1

OR

In three dimensions, the angular momentum for a point particle is a pseudovector r × p, the cross product of the particle's position vector r (relative to some origin) and its momentum vector; the latter is p = mv in Newtonian mechanics.
