*62. GO A space laboratory is rotating to create artificial gravity, as the figure indicates. Its period of rotation is chosen so that the outer ring (ro = 2150 m) simulates the acceleration due to gravity on earth (9.80 m/s²). What should be the radius r, of the inner ring, so it simulates the accel- eration due to gravity on the surface of Mars (3.72 m/s²)? In uniform circular motion the concepts of acceleration and force play central roles. Problem 63 deals with acceleration, particularly in connec- tion with the equations of kinematics. Problem 64 deals with force, and it stresses that centripetal force is the net force along the radial direction. This means that all forces along the radial direction must be taken into account when identifying the centripetal force.
