A force F⃗ = aî + 3ĵ + 6k̂ is acting at a point r⃗ = 2î − 6ĵ − 12k̂. The value of ω for which angular momentum about origin is conserved is:

  1. 2
  2. zero
  3. 1
  4. -1

Correct answer: zero

Solution

Angular momentum is conserved when the net torque acting on the system is zero. Torque is given by τ⃗ = r⃗ × F⃗. Substituting the given vectors, the cross product results in a non-zero torque unless ω = 0. Hence, angular momentum is conserved when ω = 0.
