Dear student,

You have to find perpendicular distance from orgin.

It will be 2/5.

Angular mom=mvr=3*5*2/5=6kgm2/s

particle is moving along line 4y-3x = 2

perpendicular distance of line from origin = 4(0)-3(0)-2/(32+42)=2/5 units          (using property of line)

velocity of particle is 5m/s

angular momentam = mvrp                   (rp = perpendicular distance from line of motion to the point)

                             =3*5*2/5 = 6 units
