Okay thanks a lot!:smile:

No that is the final answer. We are not figuring with vertical force. All that is needed is to take the acceleration multiplied by the mass in kg. F=ma

ok. How do I compare it to g? Isn't 9.57 m/s2 g? I know the acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.81 m/s2. I am stuck on how I am supposed to compare it to find my mass?

Homework Statement Suppose you are standing within the rim of a circular space station, in outer space. The rim revolves around the center of the space station at 290 m/s. If the radius of the station is 8784 meters, what will you weigh? (Hint: Find v^2/r and compare it to g.)Homework Equations...
