Answer:
The angular velocity produced is 0.321 rad/s.
Explanation:
Given :
Diameter of space station , D = 190 m.
Therefore, radius , [tex]R=\dfrac{D}{2}=\dfrac{190}{2}=95\ m.[/tex]
Also, acceleration , [tex]a=9.8\ m/s^2.[/tex]
We know, angular velocity , [tex]\omega=\sqrt \dfrac{a}{R}[/tex].
Putting value of g and R in above equation.
We get ,
[tex]\omega=\sqrt \dfrac{9.8\ m/s^2}{95\ m}[/tex]
[tex]\omega=0.321\ rad/s.[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
