PROBLEM 4:
An angular velocity control fuse is being considered for a satellite. When the spin about the axis O reaches the maximum \(\omega_{1}\) a very thin tether connecting two masses snaps, releasing the arms and the arms will deploy as shown. The thin circular disk at the center, the 2 slender arms (rods) and the 2 balls (considered as point masses) all have the same mass \( m \). Length of each rod and the diameter of the disk is d. Determine the angular velocity \(\omega_{2}\) as percentage of \(\omega_{1}\)?
