...rim? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a
radius of 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 x108 kg.m2.
A crew of 150 is living on the rim, and the station’s rotation
causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall
acceleration of g. When 100 people move to the center of
the station for a union meeting, the angular speed changes.
What apparent free-fall acceleration is experienced by the
managers remaining at the rim? Assume the average mass
of each inhabitant is 65.0 kg.
