A train runs around the inside of the outer rim of a cylindrical space colony of radius

Question:

A train runs around the inside of the outer rim of a cylindrical space colony of radius \(R\) and angular velocity \(\omega\) along its symmetry axis. How would the effective gravity on the passengers depend upon the train's speed \(v\) relative to the rim

(a) if the train travels in the rotation direction of the rim?

(b) if it travels in the opposite direction?

(c) If you were designing a train system, which way would you make the train run?
