How to Use This Calculator

Enter the habitat rotation rate in RPM.
Input the radius of the rotating habitat in meters from the axis of rotation.
Review the calculated artificial gravity level in fractions of Earth g at that radius.
Adjust RPM or radius to hit your target g-level (0.3-1.0 g is the typical design range).
Check the Coriolis effect intensity — rates above 2-3 RPM are uncomfortable for most occupants.
