Answer

The magnitude of the angular momentum about the origin is $~~12~kg~m^2/s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the magnitude of the angular momentum about the origin: $L = rmv~sin~\phi$ $L = (3.0~m)(2.0~kg)(4.0~m/s)~sin~(180^{\circ}-\theta_2)$ $L = (3.0~m)(2.0~kg)(4.0~m/s)~sin~150^{\circ}$ $L = 12~kg~m^2/s$ The magnitude of the angular momentum about the origin is $~~12~kg~m^2/s$
