A Disk-Shaped Space Station 125 M in Diameter Spins at a Uniform

question 26

Short Answer

A disk-shaped space station 125 m in diameter spins at a uniform rate about an axis through its center and perpendicular to the plane of the disk. If the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disk is to be equal to g, how long does it take for the station to make one revolution? Use g = 9.8 m/s².
