Find Angular Momentum Relative to a Point That is NOT the Axis of Rotation

Right when you start to wrap your head around angular momentum this problem shows up. The angular momentum of a rotating object is pretty easy, but the angular momentum of a particle is a bit complicated. Putting those two ideas together can create a properly confusing knowledge set.

This problem comes up in introductory physics courses including AP Physics 1, AP Physics C Mechanics, A Level Physics and tests such as the JEE.

Hi, I’m somebody on the internet and I found this extremely useful. I was particularly confused about the angular momentum about a point being the same as that about the axis of rotation. But now I understand. Thank you!

4:47 yeah, that's me . Thanks 🙏 👍😊

I found this to be extremely useful! Thank you so much for this video. Short, concise, gets the point across clearly. I now understand why Angular Momentum exists even when the point of interest is outside of the axis of rotation. Lifesaving video :)
