This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin
uniform rod of mass 4.07 x 10^6 kg and length 1052 meters. Small probes of
mass 9923 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-
shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 4148 m/s with
respect to the launch points, which are each located 357 m from the center
of the rod. After 10 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station
be spinning?
