A particle of mass 20 g is released with an initial velocity 5 m/s along the curve from the point A, as shown in the figure. The point A is at height h from point B. The particle slides along the frictionless surface. when the particle reaches point b, its angular momentum about O will be : (Take g = 10 m/s2) 

- A6 kg-m2/s
- B8 kg-m2/s

Correct answer: A
- Given data
- Mass of particle:
- Initial speed at :
- Surface is frictionless
- We need angular momentum of the particle about point when it reaches .
- Speed at point using energy conservation
Since the surface is frictionless, mechanical energy is conserved.
If point is at height above , then
So,
From the figure, the vertical drop from to is
Hence,
- Angular momentum about at point
Angular momentum magnitude about is where is the perpendicular distance from point to the line of motion at .
From the figure, this perpendicular distance is
Therefore,
- Matching with options
Thus the angular momentum is
So the correct option is A.
