when the Earth orbits the sun it's because there's a centripetal force, gravity, that pulls them together. 'But in this case, it's the string doing the job of gravity.' DR YAN:There's enough ...

This centripetal force must be supplied by gravity which is also related to the radius of the orbit. So the trick is to find an orbital radius which works out to give a period of 24 hours. Can it be ...

It can be practically achieved by the use of different forces, particularly the centripetal force and linear acceleration. The creation of artificial gravity is considered desirable for long-term ...

The ideal solution, it’s been argued, is to design future spacecraft with the ability to impart some degree of artificial gravity on its passengers through centripetal force. The technique is ...
