Question

An advertisement claims that a centrifuge takes up only .127m of bench space but can produce a radial acceleration of 2400g at 4000 rev/m.
calculate the required radius of the centrifuge.

Answer 1

Answer:

$r=0.13m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance $d=0.127$

Acceleration $a=2400g$

Angular Velocity $\omega=4000rev/m$

Generally the equation for Acceleration is mathematically given by

 $a=\omega^2*r$

 $2400g = (\frac{ 4000 * 2 }{pi /60 })^2 * r$

 $r=0.13m$
