Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 8.85 x 10^6 kg and length 737 mete
Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 8.85 x 10^6 kg and length 737 meters. Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 5.88 x 10^5 N to each end of the rod as shown in the diagram, causing the station to rotate about its center. If the motors are left running for 2 minutes and 37 seconds before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the engines stop? 1 1.62 rpm 2 0.65 rpm 3 2.59 rpm 4 3.11 rpm
