Asked by Jamie
Artificial gravity. One way to create artificial gravity in a space station is to spin it.
If a cylindrical space station 325 m in diameter is to spin about its central axis, at how many revolutions per minute (rpm) must it turn so that the outermost points have an acceleration equal to g ?

w^2 R = 9.81
w^2 = 9.81/163
w = .245 radians/s
rpm = .245 rad/s * 1 rev/2 pi rad * 60 s/m
w^2 = 9.81/163
w = .245 radians/s
rpm = .245 rad/s * 1 rev/2 pi rad * 60 s/m
