Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long
thin uniform rod of mass 8.10 x 10^6 kg and length 1116 meters.
Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a
constant force of F = 8.37 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 1 minutes and 33 seconds before
shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the
engines stop? (diagram shown below)
1.) 0.99 rpm
2.) 1.29 rpm
3.) 1.94 rpm
4.) 0.69 rpm
