The 20-g centrifuge at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, is a horizontal, cylindrical tube 58 ft long. Suppose an astronaut in training sits in a seat at one end, facing the axis of rotation 29.0 ft away. Decide the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, needed to give the astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 20.0g.
