Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans are to live there for any extended length of time. Without artificial gravity, human growth is stunted and biological functions break down. An effective way to create artificial gravity is through the use of a rotating enclosed cylinder, as shown in the figure. Humans walk on the inside of the outer edge of the cylinder, which has a diameter of =3335 m that is large enough such that its curvature is not readily noticeable to the inhabitants. (The space station in the figure is not drawn to scale.)

Once the space station is rotating at the necessary angular speed to create an artificial gravity of 1 , how many minutes would it take the space station to make one revolution?

I did $2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1667.6}{9.8} } =81.96$ then I converted 81.96 to minutes which was 1.4 but it still got marked wrong. 81.96 was wrong as well. Am I using the wrong equation for it? I'm not sure what to do.

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
