The change in angular momentum is $=0.68kgm^2s^-1$

The angular momentum is $L=Iomega$

and $omega$ is the angular velocity

The mass of the cylinder is $m=4kg$

The radii of the cylinder are $r_1=0.03m$ and $r_2=0.09m$

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

So, $I=4*((0.03^2+0.09^2))/2=0.018kgm^2$

The change in angular velocity is

$Delta omega=Deltaf*2pi=(9-3) xx2pi=12pirads^-1$

The change in angular momentum is

$DeltaL=IDelta omega=0.018 xx12pi=0.68kgm^2s^-1$
