$A$ constant torque of $200 \, N-m$ turns a flywheel, which is at rest, about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. If its moment of inertia is $50 \, kg-m^{2}$, then in $4 \, s$, what will be the change in its angular momentum?

The moment of inertia of a uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its length is given by $\frac{ML^2}{12}$. Now,consider one such rod pivoted at its centre,free to rotate in a vertical plane. The rod is at rest in the vertical position. $A$ bullet of mass $M$ moving horizontally at a speed $v$ strikes and embeds itself in one end of the rod. The angular velocity of the rod just after the collision will be
