A satellite is in torque-free motion (M_{G_{net}} = 0). A non-gimbaled gyro (momentum wheel) is aligned with the vehicle’s x axis and is spinning at the rate \omega_{s_{0}}. The spacecraft angular velocity is \omega= \omega_{x}\hat{i}. If the spin of the gyro is increased at the rate \dot{\omega}_{s}, find the angular acceleration of the spacecraft.
