Period and Frequency in Uniform Circular Motion
8. Centripetal Forces & Gravitation / Period and Frequency in Uniform Circular Motion / Problem 3
An innovative planetary ring system is designed to encircle Mars to create a habitat that simulates Earth-like gravity conditions through its rotation. This system is placed at from the center of Mars. Given that Mars has a mass of , calculate the ring system's rotation period, T, in hours. (Let )
