Answer

$K = 0.94~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the rotational inertia: $I = \frac{1}{3}ML^2$ $I = \frac{1}{3}(0.42~kg)(0.75~m)^2$ $I = 0.118~kg~m^2$ We can find the rotational kinetic energy at the lowest position: $K = \frac{1}{2}I~\omega^2$ $K = (\frac{1}{2})(0.118~kg~m^2)(4.0~rad/s)^2$ $K = 0.94~J$
