Homework Statement
Consider a particle confined to move inside a frictionless spherical shell on its surface and in the presence of gravity.
compute the angular momentum (in spherical co-ordinates) about the center of the spherical shell
Homework Equations
L=r x p
The Attempt at a Solution
l=m*(x,y,z) x (dx/dt,dy/dt,dz/dt) , i was going to differentiate the spherical coordinates by t and plug it in but stopped because I am pretty sure what I am doing is wrong
