Find the minimum time for which engines must be turned on

Reference no: EM13672438

A spaceship needs to change its course therefore that the magnitude of its momentum p remains the same but the direction changes by the angle α. If the ship's engines can exert a force F, find the minimum time for which engines must be turned on, and in which direction should the engines be pointed?
