Chapter 05, Problem 40

To create artificial gravity, the space station shown in the drawing is rotating at a rate of 0.730 rpm. The radii of the cylindrically shaped chambers have the ratio rA/rB = 5.00. Each chamber A simulates an acceleration due to gravity of 6.70 m/s2. Find values for (a) rA, (b) rB, and (c) the acceleration due to gravity that is simulated in chamber B.

Answer #1

The acceleration due to gravity is simulated by centripetal acceleration. Angular speed is same for both the chambers. We use equation of centripetal acceleration as shown below

To create artificial gravity, the space station shown in the drawing is rotating at a rate of 0.540 rpm. The radii of the cylindrically shaped chambers have the ratio rA/rB = 2.00. Each chamber A simulates an acceleration due to gravity of 7.40 m/s2. Find values for (a) rA, (b) rB, and (c) the acceleration due to gravity that is simulated in chamber B.

Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans are to live there for any extended length of time. Without artificial gravity, human growth is stunted and biological functions break down. An effective way to create artificial gravity is through the use of a rotating enclosed cylinder, as shown in the figure. Humans walk on the inside of the outer edge of the cylinder, which has a diameter of ?=3535 m that is large enough such that its...

It is proposed that future space stations create an artificial gravity by rotating. Suppose a space station is constructed as a 1600-m-diameter cylinder that rotates about its axis. The inside surface is the deck of the space station. What rotation period will provide "normal" gravity? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Different situation now. You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 571 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).

1. Dynamics and artificial gravity. The space station has two thrusters pointed in opposite directions. They operate by expelling propellant at high speed. The effect is that there is a force of magnitude F0 on the two ends of the space station in opposite directions, which causes the entire object to start rotating. The thrusters will stop firing when the artificial gravity created on the space station (described below) reaches the required value. Upward force, magnitude F0 Downward force, magnitude...
