Answer the question in full details, thank you very much:

A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of 124 m and a moment of inertia of 5.64 x 10^8 kg m^2.
A crew of 143 people are living on the rim, and the station's rotation causes the crew to experience an
acceleration of 1.00 g.


When 97.0 people move to the center of the station for a union meeting, the angular speed changes. What acceleration is experienced by the managers remaining at the rim? Assume that the average mass of each inhabitant is 64.7 kg, and give the answer in m/s^2.
