offers a helpful perspective for this problem. Suppose the surface (radius = r) of a cylindrical space station is rotating at 26.1 m/s to provide artificial gravity. What must be the value of r for the astronauts to weigh 1/4 of their earth weight?

Respuesta :

Artificial gravity can be provided by centripetal force. The formula for calculating centripetal force is expressed as

F = mv^2/r

where

F = centripetal force

m = mass

r = radius
