A laboratory centrifuge like the one shown in the figure operates with a rotational speed of 12000 rpm. a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of a red blood cell that is at a radial distance of 8? 00 cm from the axis of rotation of the centrifuge? b) If there are 0.0166Kg of mass of red blood cells in the centrifuge, calculate the centripetal force.
