A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 4100 rpm. Test tubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because of the very large accelerations. a. What is the acceleration at the end of a test tube that is 12 cm from the axis of rotation? b. For comparison what is the magnitude of the [...]

The 20-g centrifuge at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, is a cylindrical tube 58 ft long with a radius of 29 ft (see figure). If a rider sits in a chair at the end of one arm facing the center, how many revolutions per minute would be required to create a horizontal [...]
