ow we have a rod-shaped space station of length 533 m and mass 3.65 x 10^6 kg, which can change its length (kind of like an old-fashioned telescope), without changing its overall mass. Suppose that the station is initially rotating at a constant rate of 2.92 rpm. If the length of the rod is reduced to 2.92 m, what will be the new rotation rate of the space station? A 3.21 rpm B 9.16 rpm C 4.58 rpm D 10.99 rpm
