If the Space Station could spin on a central axis how much speed would it need to create gravity?

[Remodeling Maidiac]

The concept is obviously sound so why is it not done to help the astronauts with muscle atrophy?

 

[Moonglow]

They would need to be magnetized.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

They would need to be magnetized.

Why? Isn't the point of false gravity to simulate light gravity and bypass the need for external measures?

 

[Weatherman2020]

Depends on the radius. The 2001 station would have needed just 0.5 - 1 RPM

All objects with gravity are due to its magnetic core and the field of flux..Normally an iron core...Just like in yer transformers.

Wrong.

You've never stuck to the wall of a spinning barrel at an amusement park have you lol

It might have more to do with having more systems to maintain than with an inability to create a space with enough rotation.

I don't think the space station is designed for the perimeter to be used as a floor. That might be something to consider if another is built.

No doubt it isn't. I just don't get why. Cost? Technical restraints? Risk?

Ever wonder why astronauts turn their necks and heads upward when they're floating sideways? Why do they do that? It's not like there is any gravity that would require them to have to differentiate up from down.

Depends on the rotation speed.

Hind sight?

Is it 9.8 meters per second .............Then determine the rotational force necessary to give that.........that is the falling gravity weight of an object.........

hmmmmmmm

that is not really gravity

if it was we all would be flung off the face of the earth

 

[Moonglow]

The use of the minerals that compose a metal in your body is attracted to the magnetic field of the Earth which is also an iron core..Of molten metal oh my!

and DNA changes after a year in space.

It's syntrifical force which is the same thing I'm talking about.

And if not for the gravity of the earths mass we would fly off as a result of the rotation.

How to Calculate the Force of Gravity on the Earth’s Surface - dummies

You can use Newton’s law of gravitation to get the acceleration due to gravity, g, on the surface of the Earth just by knowing the gravitational constant G, the radius of the Earth, and the mass of the Earth. The force on an object of mass m1 near the surface of the Earth is

F = m1g

This force is provided by gravity between the object and the Earth, according to Newton’s gravity formula, and so you can write

The radius of the Earth, re, is about 6.38 × 106 meters, and the mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kilograms. Putting in the numbers, you have

<img src="https://www.dummies.com/wp-content/uploads/331267.image2.png" width="329" height="73" alt="image2.png"/>

Dividing both sides by m1 gives you the acceleration due to gravity:

<img src="https://www.dummies.com/wp-content/uploads/331268.image3.png" width="293" height="117" alt="image3.png"/>

Newton’s law of gravitation gives you the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the Earth: 9.8 meters/second2.

Of course, you can measure g by letting an apple drop and timing it, but what fun is that when you can calculate it in a roundabout way that requires you to first measure the mass of the Earth?
