Chapter 11.5, Problem 11.135P
Human centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration levels for pilots and astronauts. Space shuttle pilots typically face inwards towards the center of the gondola in order to experience a simulated 3-g forward acceleration. Knowing that astronaut sits 5 m from the axis of rotation and experiences 3 g’s inward, determine her velocity.
