This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 1.98 x 10^6 kg and length 958 meters. Small probes of mass 6554 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 3150 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 342 m from the center of the rod. After 16 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning? 3.42 rpm 14.25 rpm 5.70 rpm 22.80 rpm
