Mass of the cylinder, $m=20 kg$

Angular speed, $\omega=100$ rad $s^{-1}$

Radius of the cylinder, $r=0.25 m$

The moment of inertia of the solid cylinder:

$I=\frac{m r^{2}}{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times(0.25)^{2}$

$=0.625 kg m ^{2}$

$\therefore$ Kinetic energy $=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 6.25 \times(100)^{2}=3125 J$

$\therefore$ Angular momentum, $L=I \omega$

$=6.25 \times 100$

$=62.5 Js$
