QUESTION 7

This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 9.59 x 10^6 kg and length 667 meters. Small probes of mass 5442 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 4324 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 183 m from the center of the rod. After 20 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning?

A
2.27 rpm

B
4.63 rpm

C
3.24 rpm

D
6.02 rpm
