Question
A particle falls freely near the surface of the earth. Consider a fixed point O (not vertically below the particle) on the ground
Options
A.Angular momentum of the particle about O is increasing
B.Torque of the gravitational force on the particle about O is decreasing
C.The moment of inertia of the particle about O is decreasing
D.The angular velocity of the particle about O is increasing
Solution
Angular momentum = 
As
increases when falls down then 
also and so angular momentum is also increases. As particle falls down the length of position vector decrease so MI about ′O′ also decreases.
