Answer

$2.408\times 10^{5}\ s$

Work Step by Step

The acceleration of the stresses $a=20g$. Therefore; $a=20\times 9.8\ m/s^2=196\ m/s^2$ Speed of the craft $v=\frac{1}{10}c =\frac{1}{10}(3\times 10^8\ m/s) =3\times 10^7\ m/s$ Therefore, the time taken to rotate $90^{\circ}$ is: $t=\frac{T}{4}$ $t=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{2\pi R}{v})$ $t=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{2\pi (4.6\times 10^{12}\ m)}{3\times 10^7\ m/s})$ $t=2.408\times 10^{5}\ s$
