The angular momentum is =1734.2kgm^2s^-1

Explanation:

The angular momentum is L=Iomega

where I is the moment of inertia

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

I=1/12*mL^2

=1/12*4*6^2= 12 kgm^2

The angular velocity is

omega=2pif=23*2pi

=(46pi) rads^(-1)

The angular momentum is

L=12*46pi=1734.2kgm^2s^-1
