The moment of inertia of the astronaut and maneuvering unit about the axis through their center of mass perpendicular to the page is I = 40 kg-m2. A thruster can exert a force T = 10 N. For safety, the control system of his maneuvering unit will not allow his angular velocity to exceed 15° per second. If he is initially not rotating, and at t = 0 he activates the thruster until he is rotating at 15° per second, through how many degrees has he rotated at t = 10 s?
