The required
Answer to Problem 60A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Centripetal acceleration of a laboratory centrifuge is
Distance of the point of centripetal acceleration from the axis,
Formula used:
The centripetal acceleration is:
Where, v is the linear velocity, and r is the radius of rotation.
Also, for a rotating and rigid object, its linear velocity( v ) can be related to its angular velocity
Where r is the radius of the object.
Calculation:
Now, the centripetal acceleration can be written in terms of angular velocity as,
Using given values in above, the angular velocity will be,
Conclusion:
Thus, the required angular velocity is
