    Space Station-Artificial Gravity

    Determind the minimum diameter of a space station that would simulate an artificial G of 10 m/s^2 at a rotation rate of 1 rpm. I was not given an equation, it was one of them 'try to figure it out yourself equations' but I think it is: r=9.81g?(pie * rpm/30)^2 at least that is the...
