Question:
One of the hazards of prolonged weightlessness on long space missions is bone and muscle loss. To combat this problem, NASA is studying a human-powered centrifuge, like the one shown in FIGURE 6-61. In this device, one astronaut pedals a suspended, bicycle-like contraption, while a second astronaut rides standing up in a similarly suspended platform. If the standing astronaut moves with a speed of 2.7 m/s at a distance of 2.9 m from the center of the device, what is the astronaut's centripetal acceleration? Give your answer as a multiple of g, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth.

Take 2 forks and place them on one another in such a way that we can place the coin in between the prongs. Now try to place the coin with forks on the edge of the glass. It will take you some time to adjust the coin on the edge. This requires a little practice to adjust the coin on the edge of the glass. With a little effort, we will see the coin sitting on the edge calmly. If you look closely you will see it wobbling a little bit. The mass is in the handles of the forks so as a low center of mass it stables as it looks.
