An 800-lb geostationary satellite is spinning with an angular velocity ω0 = (1.5 rad/s)j when it is hit at B by a 6-oz meteorite traveling with a velocity v0 = −(1600 ft/s)i + (1300 ft/s)j + (400 ft/s)k relative to the satellite. Knowing that b= 20 in. and that the radii of gyration of the satellite are ., determine the precession axis and the rates of precession and spin of the satellite alter the impact.
