Angular Momentum Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the angular momentum of an object.
L = I * w
- Where L is the angular momentum (kgm^2/s)
- I is the moment of inertia (kg*m^2)
- w is the angular frequency (rad/s)
You can calculate the angular frequency using the angular speed calculator linked above.
Angular Momentum Definition
Angular momentum is defined as the product of angular velocity and mass of a rotating system or object.
Angular Momentum Example
How to calculate angular momentum
- First, determine the moment of inertia
This can be calculated using the mass moment of the inertia calculator linked above.
- Next, determine the angular frequency
Determine the angular speed at which the object is moving.
- Finally, calculate the angular moment
Using the information from steps 1 and 2 and the formula above, calculate the angular moment.
