Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the particle, m = 4 kg

Speed of the particle, v = 2.5 m/s

The radius of the circle, r = 2 m

We need to find the angular momentum about the center of the circle. The formula for the angular momentum is given by :

$L=mvr$

Substitute all the values,

$L=4\times 2.5\times 2\\\\L=20\ kg{\cdot}m^2s$

So, the angular momentum of the particle is 20 kg-m² s.
