Answer

$K = 0.41~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the rotational inertia: $I = 2M~(L~sin~\theta)^2+2M~(L~sin~\theta)^2$ $I = 4M~(L~sin~\theta)^2$ $I = (4)(1.6~kg)[(0.60~m)~sin~30^{\circ}]^2$ $I = 0.576~kg~m^2$ We can find the rotational kinetic energy: $K = \frac{1}{2}~I~\omega^2$ $K = (\frac{1}{2})~(0.576~kg~m^2)~(1.2~rad/s)^2$ $K = 0.41~J$
