What torque would have to be applied to a rod with a length of 5 m and a mass of 2 kg to change its horizontal spin by a frequency of 9 Hz over 6 s?

L=(25*pi)/2

Explanation:

L=alpha*I
"(L:torque ;alpha :angular acceleration ;I:the moment of inertia)"
alpha=(Delta omega)/(Delta t)
alpha=(2*pi*Delta f)/(Delta t)
alpha=(2*pi*9)/6
alpha=3*pi
I=1/12*m*l^2 " for a rod spinning around its center"
I=1/12*2*5^2=25/6
L=3*pi*25/6
L=(25*pi)/2
