Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 4.37 x 10^6 kg and length 520 meters. Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 4.60 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 46 seconds before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the engines stop? O 1.23 rpm 3.94 rpm 5.91 rpm 2.46 rpm
