The change in angular momentum is $= 1.76 k g m^{2} s^{- 1}$ $=1.76kgm^2s^-1$

The angular momentum is $L = I ω$ $L=Iomega$

where $I$ $I$ is the moment of inertia

The mass, $m = 4 k g$ $m=4kg$

For a cylinder, $I = m \frac{(r_{1}^{2} + r_{2}^{2})}{2}$ $I=m((r_1^2+r_2^2))/2$

So, $I = 4 \cdot \frac{({0.03}^{2} + {0.15}^{2})}{2} = 0.0468 k g m^{2}$ $I=4*((0.03^2+0.15^2))/2=0.0468kgm^2$

The change in angular momentum is

$DeltaL=IDelta omega$

The change in angular velocity is

$Delta omega=(9-3)*2pi=(12pi)rads^-1$

The change in angular momentum is

$DeltaL=0.0468*12pi=1.76kgm^2s^-1$
