The centripetal acceleration is responsible
for the artificial gravity because the acceleration of an object moving in constant
circular motion causing from net external force is called centripetal
acceleration. It defines to the center or seeking the center.
Given the following:
Cylindrical space station
diameter = 275 meters; 137.5
meters for the radius
Standard gravity =
9.80665 m/s²
Using the formula:
w² x r =g
w² = g / r
w² = 9.80665 m/s²
/ 137.5 m
w² = 9.80665 m/s²
/ 137.5 m
w² = 0.0713 s²
Then take the roots
w = 0.267 this is radians per
second / 2 x (3.1416 which is the pi)
w = 0.0424 rps convert to rpm
w = 0.0424 r/s (1minute / 60
seconds)
w = 7.08 x 10⁻⁴ revolutions per minute
