Chapter 4, Problem 4.37P
Review. The 20-g centrifuge at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, is a horizontal, cylindrical tube 58.0 ft long and is represented in Figure P4.37. Assume an astronaut in training sits in a seal at one end, facing the axis of rotation 29.0 ft away. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give the astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 20.0g.
