Uniform Circular Motion: A future use of space stations may be to provide hospitals for severely burned persons. It is very painful for a badly burned person on Earth to lie in bed. In a space station, the effect of gravity can be reduced or even eliminated. How long should each rotation take for a doughnut-shaped hospital of 200-m radius so that persons on the outer perimeter would experience 1/10 the normal gravity of Earth?
A. 91 min
B. 8.7 min
C. 4.6 min
D. 1.5 min
