Question
This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 1.20 x 10^6 kg and length 1428 meters. Small probes of mass 6066 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 2756 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 464 m from the center of the rod. After 19 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning?
