Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which would allow astronauts to experience a sort of artificial gravity when walking along the inner wall of the station's outer rim.

1. Imagine one such station with a diameter of 110 m, where the apparent gravity is 2.70 m/s2 at the outer rim. How fast is the station rotating in revolutions per minute?

2. How fast would the space station have to rotate, in revolutions per minute, for the artificial gravity that is produced to equal that at the surface of the Earth, 9.80 m/s2?

Aparticle of mass m is projected with an initial velocity v0 in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal level ground as shown in the figure. the motion of the particle occurs under a uniform gravitational field g pointing downward. (a) write down the lagrangian of the system by using the cartesian coordinates (x, y). (b) is there any cyclic coordinate(s). if so, interpret it (them) physically. (c) find the euler-lagrange equations. find at least one constant of motion. (d) solve the differential equation in part (c) and obtain x and y coordinates of the projectile as a function of time. (e) construct the hamiltonian of the system, h, and write down the hamilton’s equations (canonical equations) of motion.
