Calculate the speed of operation (in r.p.m.) of an ultracentrifuge needed to obtain a readily measurable concentration

Question:

Calculate the speed of operation (in r.p.m.) of an ultracentrifuge needed to obtain a readily measurable concentration gradient in a sedimentation equilibrium experiment. Take that gradient to be a concentration at the bottom of the cell about five times greater than at the top. Use rtop = 5.0 cm, rbott = 7.0 cm, M ≈ 105 g mol−1, ρvs ≈ 0.75, T = 298 K.
