I know that the g goes up with radius and rotation speed, but I can't find it in just that way. When I look it up, it is about angular momemtun. Can you tell me the formula for the extra g as a product of radius and revolutoins per second? Also, What's the TOTAL gravity at the rim of a disk that is rotating flat at ground level? In other words, the spin pulls outward at ?? g's and the Earth pulls downward at 1 g, how many g's does a bug on the rim feel? Did this take algebra or trig or calculus? Or did you just look it up?
