A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of 1.00 x 102 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 x 108 kgm2. A crew of 150 lives on the rim, and the station is rotating so that the crew experiences an apparent acceleration of 1.0g. When 120 people move to the center of the station for a union meeting, the angular speed changes. What apparent acceleration is experienced by the mangers remaining at the rim? Assume the average mass of a crew member is 65.0 kg.
