Halley's comet, which passes around the Sun every 76 years, has an elliptical orbit. When closest to the Sun (perihelion) it is at a distance of 8.823 x 100 m and moves with a speed of 54.6 km/s. When farthest from the Sun (aphelion) it is at a distance of 6.152 x 10¹2 m and moves with a speed of 783 m/s. Find the angular momentum of Halley's comet at perihelion.
