I have seen an expression for the angular momentum of a rotating sphere calculated from outside the sphere as L=Iω+mvr,
where v is the velocity of the center of mass, m is the mass of the sphere, and r is the distance of center of mass of the sphere from the point of calculation. My concern is if v=0, then L=Iω, which is the angular momentum of the sphere when calculate through the center of mass. How can the angular momentum be the same when the point of calculation is changing?
