The torque is $= 615.8 N m$ $=615.8Nm$

The torque is the rate of change of angular momentum

$τ = \frac{d L}{d t} = \frac{d (I ω)}{d t} = I \frac{d ω}{d t}$ $tau=(dL)/dt=(d(Iomega))/dt=I(domega)/dt$

The moment of inertia of a rod is $I = \frac{1}{12} \cdot m L^{2}$ $I=1/12*mL^2$

$= \frac{1}{12} \cdot 12 \cdot 7^{2} = 49 k g m^{2}$ $=1/12*12*7^2= 49 kgm^2$

The rate of change of angular velocity is

$\frac{d ω}{d t} = \frac{14}{7} \cdot 2 π$ $(domega)/dt=(14)/7*2pi$

$= (4 π) r a d s^{- 2}$ $=(4pi) rads^(-2)$

So the torque is $τ = 49 \cdot (4 π) N m = 615.8 N m$ $tau=49*(4pi) Nm=615.8Nm$
