- The motion of spinning a hula hoop around one's hips can bemodeled as a hoop rotating around an axis not through the center, but offset from the center by an amount h, where h is lessthan R, the radius of the hoop. Suppose Maria spins a hula hoopwith a mass of 0.75 kg and a radius of 0.62 m around her waist.The rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the hoop, butapproximately 0.40 m from the center of the hoop. a.

Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 7.92 x 10^5 N to each end of the rod as shown in the diagram, causing the station to rotate about its center. If the motors are left running for 2 minutes and 26 seconds before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the engines stop?
