Question

Consider the coordinate system in the diagram bellow; the z axis points out of the page. At the point (-d, 0, 0) a ball of mass m is initially  (at t= 0) at rest, but it is dropped under the face of gravity, near the Earth.  We ignore air resistance as usual, and treat ball as a point mass. 

1.c) What is the angular momentum relative to the origin of the coordinate system?
