Walking speed for a Human?

Ok I've been trying to figure this question out from my physics book and I'm confused. So here it is.
A more realistic model of a human leg of length 1.0 m has the center of mass 0.45 m from the hip and a rotational inertia of 1/6mL^2. What is the walking speed perdicted by this model.

That is not enough info. to know how fast the leg is moving.

No idea, but my walking speed is about 3 mph, or 5 kph.

170,000 km per hour.

Um, hang on. I think I better check my math.
