The special effects department wants to know at what rate a


You have been hired as a consultant for a new Star Trek TV series to make sure that any science on the show is correct. In this episode, the crew discovers an abandoned space station in deep space far from any stars. This station is a large wheel-like structure where people lived and worked in the rim. In order to create "artificial gravity," the space station rotates on its axis. The special effects department wants to know at what rate a space station 200 meters in diameter would have to rotate to create "gravity" equal to 0.7 that at the surface of Earth. I used the centripetal force formula from the textbook, but i'm not sure. Could you solve that for me?
