A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of 176 m and a moment of inertia of 4.61 x 108 kg. m² (when it is unmanned). A crew of 150 live on the rim, and the station is rotating so that the crew experience an apparent acceleration of 1g. When 100 people move to the center of the station, the angular speed changes. What apparent acceleration is experienced by those remaining at the rim? Assume the average mass of for each inhabitant is 69.8 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s². Answer in units of m/s².
