The torque (for the rod rotatingabout the center) is $= 28.3 N m$ $=28.3Nm$
The torque (for the rod rotatingabout one end) is $= 113.1 N m$ $=113.1Nm$

Explanation:

The torque is the rate of change of angular momentum

$τ = \frac{d L}{d t} = \frac{d (I ω)}{d t} = I \frac{d ω}{d t}$ $tau=(dL)/dt=(d(Iomega))/dt=I(domega)/dt$

The moment of inertia of a rod, rotating about the center is

$I = \frac{1}{12} \cdot m L^{2}$ $I=1/12*mL^2$

$= \frac{1}{12} \cdot 3 \cdot 6^{2} = 9 k g m^{2}$ $=1/12*3*6^2= 9 kgm^2$

The rate of change of angular velocity is

$\frac{d ω}{d t} = \frac{3}{6} \cdot 2 π$ $(domega)/dt=(3)/6*2pi$

$= (π) r a d s^{- 2}$ $=(pi) rads^(-2)$

So the torque is $τ = 9 \cdot (π) N m = 28.3 N m$ $tau=9*(pi) Nm=28.3Nm$

The moment of inertia of a rod, rotating about one end is

$I = \frac{1}{3} \cdot m L^{2}$ $I=1/3*mL^2$

$= \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 6^{2} = 36$ $=1/3*3*6^2=36$

So,

The torque is $τ = 36 \cdot (π) = 113.1 N m$ $tau=36*(pi)=113.1Nm$
