The space satellite has a mass of 125 kg and a moment of inertia Iz = 0.940 kg • m2, excluding the four solar panels A,B, C, and D. Each solar panel has a mass of 20 kg and can be approximated as a thin plate. If the satellite is originally spinning about the z axis at a constant rate ωz = 0.5 rad/s when θ = 90°, determine the rate of spin if all the panels are raised and reach the upward position, θ = 0°, at the same instant.
