(choose chapter or problem)

Section 5.6 discusses how the uniform circular motion of a space station can be used to create artificial gravity. This can be done by adjusting the angular speed of the space station, so the centripetal acceleration at an astronauts feet equals g, the magnitude of the acceleration due to the earths gravity (see Figure 5.18). If such an adjustment is made, will the acceleration at the astronauts head due to the artificial gravity be (a) greater than, (b) equal to, or (c) less than g?
