Question

To get a flat, uniform cylindrical satellite spinning at the correct rate, engineers fire four tangential rockets as shown in the figure (Figure 1) . Suppose that the satellite has a mass of 1300kg and a radius of 2.6m , and that the rockets each add a mass of 250 kg.

What is the steady force required of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 26rpm in 5.0min , starting from rest?

Suppose that the satellite has a mass of 1300kg and a radius of 2.6m , and that the rockets each add a mass of 250 kg. What is the steady force required of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 26rpm in 5.0min , starting from rest.

Explanation / Answer

The angular acceleration of the satellite must be 33 rpm / 5.3 min = 6.226 rev/m
