"The Law of conservation of angular momentum states that if no external torque acts on a body rotating about a fixed
point, the angular momentum of the body remains constant"
when external forces act on the particles,they exert torque
on them. Now the angular momentum of the particles change
with time. The rate of change of angular momentum is given
by:
dL =
d (r x p) dt dt
On solving we will get
dL = (Torque)ext
dt
Now if in a system no external torque acts then we have :
dL = 0
dt
means here L = constant
Hence,This shows that in a rotatory motion, if no external
torque acts on the system of particles, the angular momen
tum remians constant. This is the law of " conservation of
momentum"
Hope you find it useful.
