$A$ cylinder of mass $5 \ kg$ and radius $30 \ cm$ is free to rotate about its axis. It receives an initial angular impulse of $3 \ kg \ m^2 s^{-1}$ and subsequently receives the same impulse every $4 \ s$. What will be the angular speed of the cylinder $30 \ s$ after the initial impulse? The cylinder is initially at rest.

Three equal masses $m$ are kept at vertices $(A, B, C)$ of an equilateral triangle of side $a$ in free space. At $t = 0$,they are given an initial velocity $\vec{V}_A = V_0 \hat{u}_{AC}, \vec{V}_B = V_0 \hat{u}_{BA}$ and $\vec{V}_C = V_0 \hat{u}_{CB}$. Here,$\hat{u}_{AC}, \hat{u}_{CB}$ and $\hat{u}_{BA}$ are unit vectors along the edges of the triangle. If the three masses interact gravitationally,then the magnitude of the net angular momentum of the system about the centroid of the triangle is:

Does the angular momentum of a body change when its axis of rotation changes? Why?
