A crew of scientists has built a new space station.The space station is shaped like a wheel of radius R with essentially all its mass M at the rim.When the crew arrives the station will be set rotating at a rate that causes an object at the rim to have radial acceleration g thereby simulating Earth's surface gravity.This is accomplished by two small rockets each with thrust T newtons mounted on the station's rim. How long a time t does one need to fire the rockets to achieve the desired condition?
