I am working on an a project that consists of a giant wheel with a 30m radius that will be rotating at a velocity fast enough to keep a human on the inside surface of the wheel without being attached.
Please refer to 30s in for reference of similar motion performed by a hamster:
Can somebody please help me in calculating the speed at which the wheel needs to rotate to keep a human (70kg) unrestrained freely rotating around the inside of the wheel?
And secondly, how to calculate the varying G-forces exerted at the bottom, top and sides of the wheel.
Thirdly, I am assuming that theoretically it would be possible for the human to then begin to walk a long the inside surface during the rotation?
