One possible design for spacecraft that create artificial gravity (used in the movie "Stowaway" pictured above) involves two inhabitable modules (each with a mass of 750 kg ) connected by long cables (lets say 100.0 m each) spinning around a common center. Suppose this craft and its 10 crew members (each with mass 50 kg ) are initially spinning at 0.31 radians ?sec to create normal earth gravity in the extended modules. If all 10 crew members climbed to within 3.0 m of the center to perform maintenance, what is the new rate of spin?
0.13radsec
0.52radsec
0.41radsec
0.73radsec
0.64radsec
