Far out in space, a mass m1=143300.0 kg rocket and a mass m2= 230500.0 kg rocket are docked at opposite ends of a motionless 89.0m long connecting tunnel. The tunnel is rigid and has a mass of 10300.0kg. a) How far from the 143300.0-kg rocket is the center of mass? 5.46×101 m b) The rockets start their engines simultaneously, each generating 54680.0N of thrust in opposite directions. What is the structure's angular velocity after 25.7s?
