//Example 10.11
M=5.979*10^24;//Mass of the Earth (kg)
R=6.376*10^6;//Radius of the Earth (m)
I=2*M*R^2/5;//Moment of inertia (sphere) (kg.m^2)
omega=1;//Angular velocity (rev/day)
omega=1*2*%pi/(8.64*10^4);//Angular velocity (rad/s)
//There are 8.64*10^4 seconds in a day
L=I*omega;//Angular momentum (kg.m^2/s)
printf('Angular momentum of the Earth = %0.2e kg.m^2/s',L)
