Answer to Question #45360 in Mechanics | Relativity for ASWARIA

Question #45360

A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 4000 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 10 cm from the axis of rotation?
(b) For comparison, what is the magnitude of the acceleration a test tube would experience
if dropped from a height of 1.0 m and stopped in a 1.0-ms-long encounter with a hard
floor?
