Homework Statement
An astronaut is rotated in a centrifuge of radius 4.0 m.
Homework Equations
v = omega * radius
a = v^2/radius
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok, so I first found the omega for this acceleration, which came out to be
omega = 3.56179 s^-1
then I decided that since the it is revolutions per minute, I multiplied the vaule of omega by 60 seconds, and divided the value by the circumference of the circle.
(2*pi*4)/210.107 = .119619
So this answer is completely wrong because it does not make any sense whatsoever
