A wooden block of mass M hangs from a rigid rod of length e having negligible mass. The rod is pivoted at its upper end. A bullet of mass m traveling horizontally and normal to the rod with speed v hits the block and gets embedded in it. What is the angular momentum L of the block-bullet system, with respect to the pivot point immediately after the collision? M m Your answer
