The angular momentum is #=1924.2kgms^(-1)#

The angular momentum is #L=Iomega#

and #omega# is the angular velocity

For a rod, the moment of inertia is #I=(mL^2)/12#

#m=#mass of the rod

#L=# length of the rod

So, #I=15*(7)^2/12=245/4kgm^2#

#omega=5*2pi=10pi rads^-1#

#L=245/4*10pi=1924.2kgms^(-1)#
