The object shown below represents a torque-free satellite. At this time it has an angular velocity, w = 2ri rad/sec in the body axis frame. Calculate the loss in kinetic energy after it reaches a steady state as a major-axis spinner. Note that the object is made of four identical solid rods with a mass of 5 kg. ea. and a length of 2 m. You must show all necessary calculations. However, you may use MATLAB or other tools to verify your work. Note: Rods 2 and 4 are parallel, and rod 2 aligns with the X-axis.
