A large centrifuge, is used to expose aspiring astronauts to accelerations similar to those experienced in rocket launches and atmospheric reentries. It consists of a chamber attached to a long arm that rotates about the center of the centrifuge. The astronaut/pilot sits in the chamber.At what speed must the chamber move in order for the rider to experience a centripetal acceleration of 10 g (i.e.- 10 times the acceleration due to earth's gravity) if the he/she is 15.0 m from the center of rotation?(Round your answer to two decimal place and answer in m/s). Note: Take g=9.8 m/s2
