You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of
radius 841 m. You feel planted firmly on the floor , due to
artificial gravity. The gravity you experience is Earth-normal,
that is, g = 9.81 m/s^2. How fast is the space station
rotating in order to produce this much artificial gravity? Express
your answer in revolutions per minute (rpm).
90.8 rpm
0.825 rpm
1.031 rpm
0.108 rpm
