At a given instant, the body has a linear momentum L = mv_G and an angular momentum H_G = I_Gω calculated about its mass center. Show that the angular momentum of the body calculated about the instantaneous center of zero velocity IC can be expressed as H_IC = I_ICω, where l_IC represents the body's moment of inertia calculated about the instantaneous axis of zero velocity. As shown, the IC is located at a distance r_G/IC away from the mass center G.
