Problem 1.189

A ball of mass mm falls down without initial velocity from a height hh over the Earth's surface. Find the increment of the ball's angular momentum vector picked up during the time of falling (relative to the point OO of the reference frame moving translationally in a horizontal direction with a velocity VV ). The ball starts falling from the point O.O . The air drag is to be neglected.
