I'll illustrate it below.
Explanation:
The mass of the object is
Now, frequency is
But, we know that, angular frequency
Thus,
Now, we have the relation from elementary dynamics that,
Further,
We have now deduced an expression for the angular momentum
All you have to do now is plug in the values and get the final result. I won't be doing it for you though.
I'm leaving it as an exercise.
I hope it helped.
