Detailed Solution
The only force acting on the body is the gravitational attraction of earth and this force always passes through the centre of earth. Therefore, gravitational force of attraction does not produce any moment about centre of earth and hence, angular momentum about centre of earth (L) remains conserved.L=m.(vcos60o).R=mgR.12.R=12mgR3Total energy =12mgR2+-GMmR=12mgR-mgR=-12mgR
