What Do You Mean By Angular Impulse?
—
by
Angular Impulse: The product of torque acting on a particle and the time during which it acts, is called angular impulse. If an external torque acts on a particle during the time from to , then the angular impulse is

State And Prove The Law Of Conservation Of Angular Momentum.
—
by
Law of conservation of angular momentum: If the total external torque acting on a particle is zero, then the angular momentum remains conserved. This is known as the law of conservation of angular momentum. We know that the time rate of change of angular momentum of a particle is equal to the torque acting on…
