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.

Alternatively, lie along the axis of the cylinder instead of across it and then you won't get a bent back. But you would still get the Coriolis effects if you lifted your head which would be rather disconcerting if not nauseating. Less effect with lower acceleration, of course, probably not noticable much below 1/3G.
