The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Convert revolutions per minute into angular speed.
Given frequency: \[ n=\frac{900}{\pi}\text{ revolutions per minute} \] Frequency per second is \[ f=\frac{900}{\pi\times 60} \] \[ f=\frac{15}{\pi}\text{ revolutions per second} \] Angular speed: \[ \omega=2\pi f \] \[ \omega=2\pi\left(\frac{15}{\pi}\right) \] \[ \omega=30\text{ rad s}^{-1} \]

Step 2: Find the linear speed.
Using \[ v=\omega r \] Given \[ r=1\text{ m} \] So, \[ v=30\times 1 \] \[ v=30\text{ m s}^{-1} \]

Step 3: Calculate kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is \[ K=\frac12 mv^2 \] Substitute: \[ K=\frac12(0.6)(30)^2 \] \[ K=0.3\times 900 \] \[ K=270\text{ J} \]

Step 4: Final conclusion.
Therefore, \[ \boxed{270\text{ J}} \]
