Ok........
If a cylindrical rod is dropped from a height 'h', Then at what angle should it strike the ground such that its angular momentum is maximum. The friction between the ground and the rod is 'μ', The length of the cylinder is 'L' and the diameter is 'D'.

First point i don't know whether U have posted Question wrong by mistake u should see that "angular momentum is max" is wrong statement . ang momentum about which point ????? u can't talk about ang mom without specifying reference point.
i think he meant the center... but u have a genuine point :)
i guess we can assume that!
i thought that it was auto implied that the angular momentum is about the point of contact...
hmm.. this is a strange answer!!! will have to solve to verify ! :)
