You are working on a design for a new art installation at the Bo Bartlett Hall at CSU's downtown campus, and your specialty is kinetic art. For the latest installation, you need a solid spinning disk. The disk you have has a mass of mass 15 kg and diameter 2.8 m is rotating at 2.4 rad/s. What is the magnitude of its' angular momentum if it spins about its center?
