Methods of momentum

This is true for rigid as well as non rigid body. Differentiating the above expression with respect to the time

Integrating the above relation between t1 and t2 ,

Note that all external forces exert impulses, whether they do work or not.

Angular Momentum:

Angular momentum is defined as the moment of linear momentum.

For a system of particles, the angular momentum HG (about the mass center) is given by
