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 + (4000 ft/s)k relative to the satellite. Knowing that b = 20 in. and that the radii of gyration of the satellite are kx = kz = 28.8 in. and ky = 32.4 in., determine the precession axis and the rates of precession and spin of the satellite after the impact.
