1 Point A space station is shaped like a wheel of radius . By making the station rotate, the gravitational acceleration on Earth can be simulated. A space station is shaped like a wheel of radius . By making the station rotate, the gravitational acceleration on Earth can be simulated. So if an astronaut steps on a scale, the reading on the scale is . a. What constant angular speed needs to be given to the station such that the gravitational acceleration on Earth is simulated? b. The station is initially rotating with angular speed . At time the station needs to go into emergency shutdown and the rotation is slowed down with a constant angular acceleration of magnitude . Astronaut Jose had just placed a wrench of mass onto a workbench where it has a coefficient of static friction . At what time does the wrench start to slip against the table?
