The torque was $=8444.6Nm$

The torque is the rate of change of angular momentum

$tau=(dL)/dt=(d(Iomega))/dt=I(domega)/dt$

The moment of the object is $I=m*r^2$

$=8*12^2= 1152 kgm^2$

The rate of change of angular velocity is

$(domega)/dt=(12-5)/6*2pi$

$=((7pi)/3) rads^(-2)$

So the torque is $tau=1152*(7pi)/3 Nm=8444.6Nm$
