Question
Hey, could I get help with these questions please?
2. Earth is a spherical body, of radius 6,376km, which completes a full rotation about its axis in 24h. How long (in hours) should the day on Earth be so that a person at the equator is able to float freely above the ground?
3.Three lead spheres, of mass 10kg each, are located at three corners of a square of side length 45cm, (figure uploaded below). A bead is released at the forth corner. By considering the gravitational forces among the four objects only, determine the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the bead when released.

Without this artificial gravity, human growth would be stunted and biological functions will break down. One method of creating artificial gravity is by designing your cylindrically shaped and having it rotate. Human beings can then walk on the inside of the outer edge of the cylinder. (See the diagram below) Let's assume that your space station has a diameter of D = 2535 m such that it is large enough that the curvature is not noticeable by the inhabitants. How many minutes will it take for the space station to spin one complete revolution in order for the artificial gravity to be equivalent to that of earth?

- Suppose you are standing within the rim of a circular space station, in outer space. The rim revolves around the center of the space station at a speed of 300 (m/s). If the radius of the station is 3,000 (m). 1.) Draw and label a diagram for this case. 2.) What is the rotational speed of the space station? 3.) From the equation a = V^2/r (a = simulated gravity/acceleration), calculate the acceleration (a) at the rim. 4.)
