The rotation period that will provide normal gravity will be 57.12 seconds.
From the information given, the diameter of the cylinder is 1600m. Therefore, the radius will be:
= Diameter / 2.
= 1600 / 2
= 800m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Since a = rw², we'll use the subject of the formula to find w and this will be:
w = √g/✓r
w = ✓9.8 / √800
w = 0.11 rad/s
Therefore, the rotation period will be:
T = 2π/w
T = 2π/0.11
T = (2 × 3.142) / 0.11
T = 57.12 seconds
In conclusion, the correct option is 57.12 seconds.
