Example 17:

Many science fiction movies feature rotating space stations in shape of a torus. The idea behind this is that the centrifugal force produced by the rotation would serve as artificial gravity. Suppose one such space station has a radius of r = 150 m. At what speed does the space station need to rotate for the centrifugal force on a person of mass m = 72 kg to be identical to his / her gravitational pull on Earth?
