    A particle of mass 100 g100\text{ }g is projected at time t=0t = 0 with a speed 20 ms−120{\text{ }ms}^{- 1} at an angle 45∘45^{\circ} to the horizontal as given in the figure. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the particle about the starting point at time t=2 st = 2\text{ }s is found to be Kkgm2s\frac{\sqrt{K}kgm^{2}}{s}. The value of KK is (Take  g=10 ms−2)\left. \ g = 10{\text{ }ms}^{- 2} \right)
