Each of the two 300-mm uniform rods A has a mass of 1.5 kg and is hinged

Question:

Each of the two 300-mm uniform rods A has a mass of 1.5 kg and is hinged at its end to the rotating base B. The 4-kg base has a radius of gyration of 40 mm and is initially rotating freely about its vertical axis with a speed of 300 rev/min and with the rods latched in the vertical positions. If the latches are released and the rods assume the horizontal positions, calculate the new rotational speed N of the assembly.
