physical basics
The centripetal acceleration, developed inside the experimental set-up, depends on the radius " r " and angular speed of " ω ".
The term G- value is commonly used for the acceleration due to gravity. The G-factor is defined as the multiple of the gravitational constant that is obtained in the centrifuge.
r = experimental set-up inner radius (meters)
ω = angular speed (radian/sec)
g = gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/sec2)
n = experimental set up speed (RPM)
1 radian = 57.3°
360°= 2π radian
Consequently the centripetal acceleration or G-value will increase with the experimental set-up diameter and experimental set-up speed.
