Homework Statement
4) A circular space station rotates to provide an “artificial gravity” at the outside rim.
a) If the diameter of the space station is 500m, how many revolutions per minute are needed in order for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 8.0 ms-2?
b) If the space station is a waiting area for travellers to Mars, it might be desirable to simulate the acceleration due to gravity of the Martian surface (3.70 ms-2). How many revolutions per minute are needed in this case?
