"The angular momentum of rod is " 96pi

Explanation:

"The angular momentum of a rod spinning its center can be calculated using " L=I*omega

L:"represents angular momentum"
I:"represents moment of inertia"
omega:"represents angular velocity "

omega=2*pi*f" where f is frequency"

omega=2*pi*2=4pi

I=1/12*m*l^2(" moment of inertia for a rod spinning around its center")

m=8" kg ";l=6" m"

I=1/12*8*6^2=(8*36)/12=8*3=24

I=24*4pi=96 pi
