A space station with a radius of 120 m rotates once every 70 s to create artificial gravity. If the astronaut has an earth weight of 160 lbs, then what is its artificial weight?

Artificial weight = 70.27 N = 15.80 lbs

Explanation:

The earth weight of the astronaut = 160 lbs = 711.72 N

The weight on earth = m × g(earth)

g(earth) = 9.8 m/s²

711.72 = m × 9.8

m = (711.72/9.8)

m = 72.62 kg

But at the space station, the space station rotates once every 70 s to create an artificial radial acceleration that creates a radial gravity pulling the objects on the space station towards the centre of that space station.

radial acceleration = α = (v²/r)

v = rw,

α = (rw)²/r

α = rw²

r = radius of rotation = 120 m

w = angular velocity = (2π/70) (it completes 1 rotation, 2π radians, in 70 s)

w = 0.0898 rad/s

α = 120 × (0.0898²)

α = 0.968 m/s²

Artificial weight = (mass of astronaut) × (Radial acceleration) = 72.62 × 0.968

Artificial weight = 70.27 N = 15.80 lbs

Hope this Helps!!!

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
