Suppose you are in space within a very large rotating cylinder that will simulate gravity.
Within that cylinder someone has constructed a tall building, say 6 stories tall (it's a big cylinder). As you climbed up through the stories, would gravity increase, decrease, or remain the same?
ETA:
As you went up, the rotation speed under your feet would increase, so would the Coriolis affect might be more pronounced?
