A space station shaped like a giant wheel is locatedfar


A space station shaped like a giant wheel is locatedfar from anything else in space, and has a radius of 100.0 m. When unoccupied, it has a moment of inertiaI = 5.000 × 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 is living on the rim, and the space station's rotation causes the crew toexperience an apparent "gravity" (in reality, their centripetal acceleration, as seen by an inertial observer) of 1 g.When 100 people move to the center of the station for a union meeting, the angular speed changes. Assume theaverage inertia of each inhabitant is 65 kg. It is also very safe to assume that the average person is very short,compared to 100 m.What apparent "gravity" (centripetal acceleration) is experienced by the managers remaining at the rim?
