The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is
where I is the moment of inertia. This is just mass times the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation. In other words, the radius of the propeller or this is equivalent to the length of the rod. ω is the angular velocity. We determine I and ω first.
ω = 573 rev/min * (2π rad/rev) * (1 min/60 s) = 60 rad/s
