Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod
of mass 5.87 x 10^6 kg and length 1004 meters. Rocket motors on both
ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 8.86 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 2 minutes and 14 seconds
before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the
engines stop?
