The angular momentum is =80pi=251.3kgm^2s^(-1)=80π=251.3kgm2s1

Explanation:

The angular momentum is

L=IomegaL=Iω

The moment of inertia of a rod is I=1/12ml^2I=112ml2

I=1/12*8*4=8/3kgm^2I=11284=83kgm2

The angular velocity is omega=15*2pi rads^(-1)ω=152πrads1

So,

L=8/3*30pi kgm^2s^(-1)=80pi kgm^2s^(-1)L=8330πkgm2s1=80πkgm2s1
