Homework Statement


Two identical particles have equal but opposite momenta, p and -p, but they are not traveling along the same line show that the total angular momentum of this system does not depend on the choice of origin.


Homework Equations


L=r x p
Sum of torque = dL/dt


The Attempt at a Solution


Do not understand the problem at all.
