L=-1408*piL=1408π

Explanation:

alpha :"angular acceleration"α:angular acceleration
L: "Torque"L:Torque
I: "moment of inertia"I:moment of inertia
"Torque is given by formula": L=alpha *ITorque is given by formula:L=αI
L=2*pi(omega_l-omega_i)/(Delta t)*I
L=2*pi(4-15)/4 *I
L=-11 *pi/4 *I
I=m*r^2
I=8*64=512
L=-11*pi/4 *512
L=-11*128*pi
L=-1408*pi
