A space laboratory is rotating to create artificial gravity, as the figure indicates. Its period of rotation

Question:

A space laboratory is rotating to create artificial gravity, as the figure indicates. Its period of rotation is chosen so that the outer ring (rO = 2150 m) simulates the acceleration due to gravity on earth (9.80 m/s2). What should be the radius r1 of the inner ring, so it simulates the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars (3.72 m/s2)?
