A light, rigid rod of length { = 1.00 m joins two particles, with masses m, = 4.00 kg and m ,= 3.00 kg, at its ends. The combination rotates in the xy-plane about a pivot through the center of the rod (see figure below). Determine the angular momentum of the system about the origin when the speed of each particle is 4.60 m/s. (Enter the magnitude to at least two decimal places in kg .m 2/s.)
