Question

Part A.) To get a flat, uniform cylindrical satellite spinning at the correct rate, engineers fire four tangential rockets as shown in the figure

If the satellite has a mass of 4400kg and a radius of 3.1m , what is the required steady force of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 33rpm in 4.0min ? express answer in N

Explanation / Answer

The angular acceleration of the satellite must be 33 rpm / 4.0 min = 8.25rev/m
