5089.38\ "kg m"^2//"s"

Explanation:

Angular momentum (L) is given as

L = I ω

L = mr^2 × 2 π f

Moment of inertia of small object is mr^2; omega = 2 π f

L = "5 kg" × ("3 m")^2 × 2 × π × "18 Hz" = 5089.38\ "kg m"^2//"s"

The angular momentum is =5089.4kgm^2s^-1

Explanation:

The angular momentum is L=Iomega

where I is the moment of inertia

The mass of the object is m=5kg

The radius of the path is r=3m

The moment of inertia of the object is given by

I=mr^2

=5*3^2= 45 kgm^2

The frequency is f=18Hz

The angular velocity is omega=2pif=2*18*pi=36pirads^-1

The angular momentum is

L=Iomega=45*36pi=5089.4kgm^2s^-1
