    Calculating Velocity to Match Earth's Gravity on a 200m Circle

    thank you for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that the circle is in space so it doesn't matter its orientation. Using the a = v^2/r I got an answer of 44.29 m/s. Thank you for your replies.

    Calculating Velocity to Match Earth's Gravity on a 200m Circle

    I need help in calulcating the velocity that it is neccesary to spin a 200 m circle in order to make the force some one would have against the floor of this circle be the same as on Earth. EDIT: No given mass. only the force neccesary and the radius.

    What is the minimum radius for a safe and effective space station?

    Thank you all very much for your quick responses. Using scholzie post I got an answer of 200 but I found xanthym easier too follow.

    What is the minimum radius for a safe and effective space station?

    Junior level Physics problem I am having trouble with: Some plans for a future space station make use of a rotational force to simulate gravity. In order to be effective the centripetal acceleration at the outer rim of the station should equal about 1g, or 98.1 m/s^2. However humans can...
