We have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a
long thin uniform rod of mass 7.00 x 10^6 kg and length 1197
meters. Small probes of mass 9047 kg are periodically launched in
pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as
shown, launching at a speed of 4309 m/s with respect to the launch
points, which are each located 410 m from the center of the rod.
After 19 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station
be spinning? (diagram shown below)
1.) 2.78 rpm
2.) 1.95 rpm
3.) 9.02 rpm
4.) 6.94 rpm
