An Example:
Since the two objects are symmetrically distributed with respect to the z-axis, the
angular momentum about any point along the z-axis has the same value.

An example:
An object of mass m and speed v strikes a rigid uniform rod of length L and mass M
that is hanging by a frictionless pivot from the ceiling. Immediately after striking the
rod, the object continues forward but its speed decreases to v/2. Gravity acts with
acceleration g downward. Find the angular velocity of the rod just after the collision.

Note: If the external torque acting on a system is zero, then the angular momentum of
the system is constant. Therefore =0, consequently =0; no angular acceleration. The
motion corresponds to uniform circular motion with a constant angular velocity.

The Doorstop
The banging of a door against its stop can tear loose the
hinges. However, by the proper choice of l, the impact
forces on the hinge can be made to vanish.
