What is the period of the rotation of the space station? [17.8s] If the mass of the astronaut at B is 52 kg what are the astronaut's acceleration and normal force experienced by the wall? [6.00 m/s2,312N] If the period of the rotation were to decrease, how does this affect the normal force experienced by the astronauts?
