Answer

$7.05\times 10^{33}Kg.\frac{m^2}{s}$

Work Step by Step

The angular momentum can be determined as $L=I\omega$ $\implies L=(\frac{2}{3}MR^2)(\frac{2\pi}{T})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $L=\frac{4\pi(5.97\times 10^{24})(6.37\times 10^6)^2}{5(86400)}$ $L=7.05\times 10^{33}Kg.\frac{m^2}{s}$
