Consider the particles in a gas centrifuge, a device used to separate particles of different mass by whirling them in a circular path of radius r at angular speed w. The force acting toward the center of the circular path on a given particle is mw2r.
(a) Discuss how a gas centrifuge can be used to separate particles of different mass.
(b) Show that the density of the particles as a function of r is Download free solution (doc) |
