Angular momentum L = I蠅, where


I = the moment of inertia about the axis of rotation, which for a long thin uniform rod rotating about its center as depicted in the diagram would be 1/12m鈩撀? where m is the mass of the rod and 鈩?is its length. The mass of this particular rod is not given but the length of 2 meters is. The moment of inertia is therefore


I = 1/12m*2虏 = 1/3m kg*m虏





The angular momentum 蠅 = 2蟺f, where f is the frequency of rotation. If the angular momentum is to be in SI units, this frequency must be in revolutions per second. 120 rpm is 2 rev/s, so


蠅 = 2蟺 * 2 rev/s = 4蟺 s^(-1)





The angular momentum would therefore be


L = I蠅


= 1/3m * 4蟺


= 4/3蟺m kg*m虏/s, where m is the rod's mass in kg.





The direction of the angular momentum vector - pseudovector, actually - would be straight out of the diagram toward the viewer.





Edit: 650 g = 0.650 kg, so


L = 4/3蟺(0.650) kg*m虏/s


鈮?2.72 kg*m虏/s
