Answer

$\frac{mVa}{6}$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. Here we use the equation, Angular momentum $(L)=I\omega$ $L=I\omega-(1)$ We know for a thin rod, the rotational inertia of a perpendicular axis through its center of mass $(I)=\frac{1}{12}ma^{2}-(2)$ Also, we can write, $V=r\omega$ $V=\frac{a}{2}\omega=\gt \omega=\frac{2V}{a}-(3)$ $(2),(3)=\gt (1)$ $L=\frac{1}{12}ma^{2}\times 2V=\frac{mVa}{6}$
