This is my first post on here so let me know if I need to provide more info.
A proposed space station includes living quarters in a circular ring 52.5 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?
r=c/2Pi
a(centripetal)= v2/r => v=sqrt( ac*r
Δ∅=s/r
r=52.5/2*Pi= 8.356
v= sqrt(9.81*8.356)=9.0538
Δ∅=9.0538/8.356=1.084 rad/sec
This was my first attempt at the problem but I was returned that the answer is wrong, any ideas on what I did?
