Question

Another pop star of your choosing is in a 'tube' of a human sized centrifuge. The radius of this centrifuge is 10 meters. Humans will turn into 'goo' at 50 g's. How many times a minute will the centrifuge rotate so the pop star is turned into a liquid? Another pop star of your choosing is in a 'tube' of a human sized centrifuge.

Explanation / Answer

Centripetal acc. = w^2 r

50 x 9.81 = w^2 ( 10 )

w = 7 rad/s

angular velocity of centrifuge = 7 rad/s = 7 (1/2pi rev.) / (1/60)min = 66.86 rev/min

SO in 1 minute it rotates 66.86 times.
