Helicopter blades withstand tremendous stresses. In addition to supporting the weight of the helicopter, they are spun at rapid rates and experience large centripetal accelerations, especially at the tip. (a) Calculate the centripetal acceleration, in m/s, at the tip of a 3.70-meter-long helicopter blade that rotates at 310 rev/min. m/s? (b) Compare the tangential speed of the tip with the speed of sound (taken to be 340 m/s on this day). V V sound

5For the case of myoglobin, where mnet =4000 g/mole, how fast does a centrifuge have to spin before the bottom of the tube at a radius of R1 = 20 cm has 10 times the concentration at a radius of R2 = 19.9 cm? Find ω in radians per second from the formula, divide by 2π to get revolutions per second, and then multiply by 60 to get rpm (revolutions per minute).
