I have no math and I must scream

I'm looking for an idea of what kind of rotation I'd need on a drum with a diameter of about 6 meters to give an object/person on the inside of the drum the feeling of 1/10, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1.5 g ... is that too hard? Alas, I have no math and I must scream. Said drim to be in a spaceship in orbit, if you care.

Um. I used to dance and skate and do high-speed whirling. It's not the same at all. Moreover I used to adore rides with high centripetal motion. I doubt one could sleep in such an environment. Later, chemical changes led to that motion being sickening -- so no more rides where I push the boundaries of fast spinning.

Give this one up.
