An air sample containing pollution particles of the size and density given in Problem 89 is captured

Question:

An air sample containing pollution particles of the size and density given in Problem 89 is captured in a test tube 8.0 cm long. The test tube is then placed in a centrifuge with the midpoint of the test tube 12 cm from the center of the centrifuge. The centrifuge spins at 800 revolutions per minute. Estimate the time required for nearly all of the pollution particles to sediment at the end of the test tube and compare this to the time required for a pollution particle to fall 8.0 cm under the action of gravity and subject to the viscous drag of air.
