Question:

A cylindrical space colony rotates about its symmetry axis with period 62.8 seconds. If the effective gravity felt by colonists standing on the inner rim is one earth "gee", what is the radius of the colony? What then is the percentage difference in the effective gravity acting upon the head and on the feet of a two-meter tall colonist?
