Homework Statement
a mass drops from rest without air resistance, starting from coordinates x=xo, y=yo, z=0. compute its angular momentum about origin at time=t. compare it to the torque on the mass. repeat this, but pick your origin for the angular momentum and torque about the point (x,y,z)=(2xo, 0,0).
Homework Equations
F=dp/dt
The Attempt at a Solution
gravity is the only force so mg=dp/dt. separating and integrating, mgt=p. this is way too simple, how should i attack this problem? i feel that i am not given enough information
