The outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. If the space station is 180 meters in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 meters per second squared at the rim in radians per second?arrow_forward
