Problem 1.185

The angular momentum of a particle relative to a certain point OO varies with time as M=a+bt2,\mathbf{M}=\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b} t^{2}, where a\mathbf{a} and b\mathbf{b} are constant vectors, with aba \perp b. Find the force moment NN relative to the point OO acting on the particle when the angle between the vectors N\mathbf{N} and M equals 4545^{\circ}.

N=2ba/b\mathbf{N}=2 \mathbf{b} \sqrt{a / b}
