Russia Patents Rotating Space Station Concept to Generate Artificial Gravity in Orbit

SOLVED: Artificial gravity is produced in a space station by rotating it, so it is a non-inertial reference frame. The rotation means that there must be a centripetal force exerted on the occupants; this centripetal force is exerted by the walls of the station. The space station in Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey is in the shape of a four-spoked wheel with a diameter of 150 m. If the space station rotates at a rate of 2.45 revolutions per minute, what is the magnitude of the artificial
