Consider a cylinder of radius R = 1000 km and, for our purposes

velocity of Ω = 0.18◦/s. It completes one revolution every 2000 s.
This rotation rate leads to an apparent centrifugal acceleration
for objects on the interior surface of Ω2 R equal to 1 g. Imagine
several competing teams living on the interior of the cylinder,
throwing water balloons at each other. (a) Show that when...
