Problem 1.189

A ball of mass \(m\) falls down without initial velocity from a height \(h\) 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 \(O\) of the reference frame moving translationally in a horizontal direction with a velocity \(V\) ). The ball starts falling from the point \(O .\) The air drag is to be neglected.
