The change in angular momentum is $=0.19kgm^2s^-1$

The angular momentum is $L=Iomega$

and $omega$ is the angular velocity

The mass of the cylinder is $m=5kg$

The radii of the cylinder are $r_1=0.04m$ and $r_2=0.05m$

For the cylinder, the moment of inertia is $I=m(r_1^2+r_2^2)/2$

So, $I=5*(0.04^2+0.05^2)/2=0.01025kgm^2$

The change in angular velocity is

$Delta omega=Deltaf*2pi=(12-9)*2pi=6pirads^-1$

The change in angular momentum is

$DeltaL=I Delta omega=0.01025*6pi=0.19kgm^2s^-1$
