Chapter 11, Problem 54P
A uniform, solid, spherical asteroid with mass 1.2 × 1013 kg and radius 1.0 km is rotating with period 4.3 h. A meteoroid moving in the asteroid’s equatorial plane crashes into the equator at 8.4 km/s. It hits at a 58° angle to the vertical and embeds itself at the surface. After the impact the asteroid’s rotation period is 3.9 h. Find the meteoroid’s mass.

This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 8.92 x 10^6 kg and length 867 meters. Small probes of mass 7618 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 3581 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 296 m from the center of the rod. After 17 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning?
