Figure shows the rear view of a spaceship that is rotating about its longitudinal axis at 6

Question:

Figure shows the rear view of a spaceship that is rotating about its longitudinal axis at 6 rev/min. The occupants wish to stop this rotation. They have small jets mounted tangentially, at a distance R = 3 m from the axis, as indicated, and can eject 10 g/s of gas from each jet with a nozzle velocity of 800 m/s. For how long must they turn on these jets to stop the rotation? The rotational inertia of the ship around its axis (assumed to be constant) is 4000 kg ? m2.
