Different situation now. You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 542 m. You feel planted firmly on the floor , due to artificial gravity. The gravity you experience is Earth-normal, that is, g = 9.81 m/s^2. How fast is the space station rotating in order to produce this much artificial gravity? Express your answer in revolutions per minute (rpm). 1 1.285 rpm 2 0.135 rpm 3. 72.9 rpm 4 0.643 rpm

Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which would allow astronauts to experience a sort of artificial gravity when walking along the inner wall of the station's outer rim. (a) Imagine one such station with a diameter of 129 m, where the apparent gravity is 4.00 m/s2 at the outer rim. How fast is the station rotating in revolutions per minute? (b) What If? How fast would the space station have to rotate, in revolutions per minute, for the artificial gravity that is produced to equal that at the surface of the Earth, 9.80 m/s2?
