My textbook says that for a central force at the origin, the angular momentum is constant, because the derivative rxF is zero since F points radially outwards so it is in the same direction as r. Ok, but what about the angular momentum about a point other than the origin, or the angular momentum with respect to the origin of a central force that is not located at the origin? Would angular momentum still conserved in these cases?
