Question

Part A At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.68 g? Assume the spaceship's diameter is 38m , and give your answer as the time needed for one revolution (see the figure (Figure 1) ). Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

when spinning

a = w^2 r

w = sqrt( a/r) = sqrt(0.68*9.81/38)

w = 2 pi/T

2 pi/T = sqrt(0.68*9.81/38)

T=15.0 s
