An ultracentrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 100,000 rpm in 2.0 min. If this ultracentrifuge accelerates 2.0 seconds starting from rest, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration in unit of gravitational acceleration g for your sample sitting at 6.0 cm from the center axis? Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Hint: compute the centripetal acceleration in unit of m/s2 first, then divided by g will be your answer. For example, if your centripetal acceleration is 19.6 m/s2, your answer measured in unit of g is 2.0.
