This time we have a non-rotating space station in a the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 8.67 x 10^6 kg and length 1409 meters. Small probes of mass 8731 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 4183 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 376 m from the center of the rod. After 15 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning? 1 0.77 rpm 2 2.74 rpm 3 1.10 rpm 4 3.56 rpm
