Question
A tunnel connecting two portions of a space station has a circular cross-section of radius 34 feet. Two
walkway decks are constructed in the tunnel. Deck A is along a horizontal diameter and another parallel
Deck B is 2 feet below Deck A. Because the space station is in a weightless environment, you can walk
vertically upright along Deck A, or vertically upside down along Deck B. You have been assigned to paint
"safety stripes" on each deck level, so that a 6 foot person can safely walk upright along either deck.
Determine the width of the "safe walk zone" on each deck.
