I have read Classical Mechanics book by David Morin, and there are some parts that I do not understand from its derivation.
Note :
## V## and ##v## is respectively the velocity of CM and a particle of the body relative to the fixed origin , while ##v'## is velocity of the particle relative to CM
From this, we can get : $$ v = V + v'$$
In the 3rd step, It is written that ## \int r' \times V\, dm ## vanised because the position of CM in CM frame is zero.
But, isn't the position of CM should be calculated relative to the origin? (Since we are calculating the angular momentum relative to the origin, not CM)
