Attempt 3
Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans
are to live there for any extended length of time. Without
artificial gravity, human growth is stunted and biological
functions break down.
An effective way to create artificial gravity is through the
use of a rotating enclosed cylinder, as shown in the figure.
Humans walk on the inside edge of the cylinder, which is
sufficiently large (radius R) that its curvature is not readily
2R-
noticeable to the inhabitants. The space station in the figure
is not drawn to scale.
Once the space station is rotating at the necessary speed to
create an artificial gravitational acceleration equal to the
acceleration g at Earth's surface, how long will it take the
space station to make one revolution? Express this time t in
terms of g and R.
t =
