Answer

The magnitude of the angular momentum is $~~308~kg~m^2/s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the rotational inertia: $I = \frac{1}{3}ML^2$ $I = \frac{1}{3}(\frac{10.0~N}{9.8~m/s^2})(6.00~m)^2$ $I = 12.24~kg~m^2$ We can express the angular speed in units of $rad/s$: $\omega = (240~rev/min)(\frac{1~min}{60~s})(\frac{2\pi~rad}{1~rev}) = (8\pi)~rad/s$ We can find the magnitude of the angular momentum: $L = I~\omega$ $L = (12.24~kg~m^2)(8\pi~rad/s)$ $L = 308~kg~m^2/s$ The magnitude of the angular momentum is $~~308~kg~m^2/s$.
