To test the effects of high acceleration on the human body, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Question:

To test the effects of high acceleration on the human body, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) constructed a large centrifuge at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. In this device, astronauts were placed in a capsule that moved in a circular path with a radius of 15 m. If the astronauts in this centrifuge experienced a centripetal acceleration 9.0 times that of gravity, what was the linear speed of the capsule?
