The 17.5-Mg lunar landing module with center of mass at G has a radius of gyration of 1.8 m about G. The module is designed to contact the lunar surface with a vertical free-fall velocity of 8 km/h. If one of the four legs hits the lunar surface on a small incline and suffers no rebound, compute the angular velocity ω of the module immediately after impact as it pivots about the contact point. The 9-m dimension is the distance across the diagonal of the square formed by the four feet as corners.
