Problem

At its closest approach, a

2.0\,\text{kg}

hockey puck slides east at

4.0\,\text{m/s}

along a straight, frictionless ice surface. The puck’s path passes

3.0\,\text{m}

south of stationary marker point

O

. Determine the magnitude of the puck’s angular momentum about point

O

at that instant.
