Answer

$4.71\times10^{-6} kg \frac{m^2}{s}$.

Work Step by Step

First find the moment of inertia of the second hand, treating it like a rod. $$I=\frac{1}{3}(0.006kg)(0.15m)^2$$ $$I=4.5\times 10^{-5}kg\cdot m^2$$ Now find the angular momentum. $$L=I \omega=(4.5\times 10^{-5}kg\cdot m^2)\frac{1rev}{60s}\frac{2 \pi rad}{rev}=4.71\times10^{-6} kg \frac{m^2}{s}$$
