Rotational energy levels — UPSC Physics Optional CSE 1989 Paper I

The mass of a molecule of DNA from T2 bacteriophage is 1.2 \times 10^8\text{ a.m.u.} The molecule is a double helix of 1.2 \times 10^4 turns and the radius of gyration of the helix is 6.7\text{ \AA}. If the rotational energy of the molecule about the axis of the helix is equal to thermal energy at 300 K, deduce the value of \omega, the angular frequency of rotation.
