For a brief period each year, the rays of the sun are warm enough to melt some of the snows piled a mile deep at the base of the headwalls, and then the pinnacles glisten in the daytime at high noon, and billions of gallons of water begin their slow seepage under the glaciers and across the rockstrewn hanging valleys on their long, meandering journey to the sea -- running east past the sky-carving massifs of Gurla Mandhata and Kemchenjunga, then turning south and curling down through the jungles of Assam, past the Khasi Hills, and into Bengal, past Sirinjani and Madaripur, until the hard water of the melting snows mingles with the soft drainage of fields and at length fans out to meld with the teeming salt depths of the Bay of Bengal.

For the case of an object that is small compared with the radial distance to its axis of rotation, such as a tin can swinging from a long string or a planet orbiting in a circle around the Sun, the angular momentum can be expressed as its linear momentum,, crossed by its position from the origin, r. Thus, the angular momentum L of a particle with respect to some point of origin is

For a binomial involving subtraction, the theorem can be applied as long as the opposite of the second term is used.

For example, the copyright to a Mickey Mouse cartoon restricts others from making copies of the cartoon or creating derivative works based on Disney's particular anthropomorphic mouse, but does not prohibit the creation of other works about anthropomorphic mice in general, so long as they are different enough to not be judged copies of Disney's.

For as long as they stay functionally healthy and sane, characters grow and develop.

For a long period, it was the " classic " Unix desktop associated with commercial Unix workstations.

For example, raw uncompressed PCM audio ( 44. 1 kHz, 16 bit stereo, as represented on an audio CD or in a. wav or. aiff file ) has long been a standard across multiple platforms, but its transmission over networks is slow and expensive compared with more modern compressed formats, such as MP3.

For example, the 14th Dalai Lama, long insistent on Tibet's history being separate from that of China's, conceded in 2005 that Tibet " is a part " of China's " 5000-year history " as part of a new proposal for Tibetan autonomy.

For example, for a long period it was assumed that Imperial China had no system of civil law because the law codes did not have explicit provisions for civil lawsuits.

For example, many everyday objects are hundreds or thousands of centimetres long, such as humans, rooms and buildings.

For a rigid body rotating around an axis of symmetry ( e. g. the blades of a ceiling fan ), the angular momentum can be expressed as the product of the body's moment of inertia, I, ( i. e. a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation rate ) and its angular velocity ω:

For an object with a fixed mass that is rotating about a fixed symmetry axis, the angular momentum is expressed as the product of the moment of inertia of the object and its angular velocity vector:

For the current loop, the magnetic dipole moment points through the loop ( according to the right hand grip rule ), with a magnitude equal to the current in the loop times the area of the loop.
