A disc initially has angular velocities as shown
It's angular momentum along the y-axis initially is
I tried to find its angular momentum and ended up with this: The z component of angular momentum is thus
However I found a similar situation in a book
that writes the components of angular momentum along x as
The book has an additional term for the angular momentum which I don't.
Why am I wrong ?
