Let at certain instant two particles be at points P and Q, as shown in the figure.

Angular momentum of the system about point P

L p ? = mv x 0 + mv x d = mvd ……. (i)

Angular momentum of the system about point Q

L q ? = mv x d + mv x 0 = mvd ……. (ii)

Consider a point R, which is at a distance y from point Q such

L ? = r ? * m v ?

= ( 3 i ^ ? j ^ ) * ( 3 j ^ + k ^ )

= 9 k ^ + 3 ( ? j ^ ) ? i ^

= ? i ^ ? 3 j ^ + 9 k ^

| L ? | = 1 + 9 + 8 1 = 9 1
