Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \frac{3}{2}\frac{L}{md^{2}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(L = I \omega\) and \(\omega=\frac{ L }{ I }\)
\(\omega=\frac{L}{m\left(\frac{2 d}{3}\right)^2+2 m\left(\frac{d}{3}\right)^2}=\frac{L}{\frac{4}{9} m d^2+\frac{2}{9} m d^2}=\frac{L}{\frac{6 m d^2}{9}}\)
\(\omega=\frac{3 L}{2 md ^2}\)
