At its ames research center, nasa uses its large "20-g" centrifuge to test the effects of very large accelerations ("hypergravity") on test pilots and astronauts. in this device, an arm 8.84 m long rotates about one end in a horizontal plane, and an astronaut is strapped in at the other end. suppose that he is aligned along the centrifuge’s arm with his head at the outermost end. the maximum sustained acceleration to which humans are subjected in this device is typically 12.5 g. (a) how fast must the astronaut’s head be moving to experience this maximum acceleration? (b) what is the difference between the acceleration of his head and feet if the astronaut is 2.00 m tall? (c) how fast in rpm (rev/min) is the arm turning to produce the maximum sustained acceleration?

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 3.0-m-tall, 5.0-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. the cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! if all goes well, the passengers will “stick” to the wall and not slide. clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. part a what is the minimum rotational frequency, in rpm, for which the ride is safe? express your answer using two significant figures. f f = rpm
