First you need to find the tangential velocity of your space station. X is a times sign Equation: velocity = the square root of (9.80 m/s2 X 150m) Then you need to use another equation to find the RPM. Equation: RPM = velocity divided by 2 X pi (3.1415) X radius (150m) RPM=v/2pi(r) I got 0.498 RPM

Hey can someone grab this thread and UL it to the LIBS? I have sooo much stuff here that if I kept a copy I'd never find it when I need it…. and I'm sure others will have a similar Q in the future. Bri

Brian – I'll get what's left of the thread and upload to library. Hope it is all still here. Anyone – point out specific threads that you think might be good library candidates anytime. Anne
