Thanks

Still nothing to make astronaut adhere to surface. If you are buckeled into a seat on the inside of the hub, and forced to spin with the hull, I can see you experience G at that point. Otherwise unattached you would float off the surface as it spun.

So i found an acceptable subject, good. I do think of it as water in a bucket, but the water in question is in zero (or micro) G. I see it as an astronaut just floating around while the space station walls are spinning around him. I just noticed you have a link, I have to post to be able to...

Would a spinning space station as depicted below that use centrifugal force to create artificial gravity actually work? I'm thinking that it would not, this is because the centrifugal force would not affect an astronaut inside unless he was actually fastened mechanically to the hub. The fact...

Calculating g force applied to 100 lb person on the equator of earth.

3,959 miles (6,371 kilometers) one revolution per 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Yeah, that's the problem I'm getting when googling speed to G force calculators, can you do some conversions and come up with an answer, it's over my head.

HI, let's save introductions till later, I'd like to get right to it. two questions: If a person weighs 100 lbs and is on a centrifuge spinning at 1,000 MPH, what is the G-force exerted by his body? If a person weighs 100 lbs and is on a centrifuge spinning at 500 MPH, what is the G-force...
