Circular motion space station question

[zhenyazh]

hi,
could some one explain where am i wrong?

A proposed space station includes living quarters in a circular ring 53.5 m in diameter. At what angular speed should the ring rotate so the occupants feel that they have the same weight as they do on Earth?

in such a station there is a centr. force mv^2/r.
it equals mg since i want them to feel like on earth.
then i play with the equation, lose m make v=wr.
and find w.

thanks

Have you used diameter instead of radius? The method seems fine.
What result did you get?

 

[zhenyazh]

nope. i divided by two

Please show us your calculation and final answer. Otherwise it is very difficult to help.

v^2/r has to be equal to g then you can work from there
