The position of a particle is give by 
and its linear momentum is given by 
. Then its angular momentum about the origin is perpendicular
A
-axis
B
-axis
C
-axis
D
yz-plane
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Here, 
has components along -y axis and -z axis but it has no component along the 
-axis. The angular momentum 
is perpendicular to x -axis
