The angular mmentum is =667.1kgm^2s^-1

Explanation:

The angular momentum is L=Iomega

where I is the moment of inertia

and omega is the angular velocity

The moment of inertia of a rod, rotating about the center is

I=1/12*mL^2

=1/12*2*7^2= 8.17 kgm^2

The angular velocity is

omega=13*2pi=(26pi)rads^-1

The angular momentum is

L=8.17*26pi=667.1kgm^2s^-1
