The problem statement is incomplete. To find the angular momentum of a particle, we need its velocity (either linear velocity $v$ or angular velocity $\omega$).
The formula for angular momentum ($L$) of a particle moving in a circular path is:
$$L = mvr$$
where:
$m$ is the mass of the particle
$v$ is the linear velocity of the particle
$r$ is the radius of the circular path
Alternatively, using angular velocity ($\omega$):
$$L = I\omega$$
where:
$I$ is the moment of inertia ($I = mr^2$ for a point mass)
$\omega$ is the angular velocity ($v = r\omega$)
Given:
Mass ($m$) = 2 kg
Radius ($r$) = 1 m
We are missing the value for either the linear velocity ($v$) or the angular velocity ($\omega$). Please provide this information to calculate the angular momentum.
