The space capsule has an angular velocity ω = (0.02 rad/s)j + (0.10 rad/s)k when the jet at B is activated for 1 s in a direction parallel to the x axis. Knowing that the capsule has a mass of 1000 kg, that its radii of gyration are and , and that the jet at B produces a thrust of 50 N, determine the axis of precession and the rates of precession and spin after the jet has stopped.
