7.This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thinuniform rod of mass 6.02 x 10^6 kg and length 874 meters. Small probes ofmass 6210 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 4264 m/s withrespect to the launch points, which are each located 317 m from the centerof the rod. After 15 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the stationbe spinning?
