Centrifuge Acceleration

Centrifuge Acceleration#

The test tubes of high-speed centrifuges should be placed with care because of the very large acceleration.

Part 1#

Assume the centrifuge is rotating at 3500.0 \(\rm{rpm}\). Determine the acceleration at the end of a test tube that is placed 7 \(\rm{cm}\) from the axis of rotation.

Answer Section#

Please enter in a numeric value.

Part 2#
