Options:
  • A $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \frac{m v^{2}}{g}$
  • B zero
  • C $\frac{m v^{3}}{\sqrt{2 g}}$
  • D $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{16} \frac{m v^{3}}{g}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{16} \frac{m v^{3}}{g}$
Angular momentum $L_{0}=p r_{\perp}$ $\left(\because\right.$ linear momentum $p=m v \cos \theta$ and $\left.\mathrm{r}_{1}=H\right)$




$\Rightarrow L_{0}=m v \cos \theta H$

$=m v \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{v^{2} \sin ^{2} 30^{\circ}}{2 g}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{3} m v^{3}}{16 g}$
