Standing inside a rotating space station, your feet have a greater linear speed and a greater centripetal acceleration than your head. We say there is a difference in g's from your head to your feet, and this difference can be quite uncomfortable. Studies show, however, that a difference of 1/100 g across the human body produces no discomfort. If you are 1.7 m tall, what should be the radius of the space station (in m) compared to your height so that the difference in acceleration between your head and feet is only 1/100 g?

The sun’s mass is 2.0×10^ 30 kg, its radius is 7.0×10 5 km, and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. if the sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.5×10 3 km, what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the sun both before and after?
