The angular momentum is =254.5kgm^2s^-1=254.5kgm2s1

Explanation:

The angular momentum is L=IomegaL=Iω

where II is the moment of inertia

and omegaω is the angular velocity

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

I=1/12*mL^2I=112mL2

=1/12*2*9^2= 13.5 kgm^2=112292=13.5kgm2

The angular velocity is

omega=3*2pi=(6pi)rads^-1ω=32π=(6π)rads1

The angular momentum is

L=13.5*6pi=254.5kgm^2s^-1L=13.56π=254.5kgm2s1
