Weight of a 180 g apple vs Ten-metre centrifuge at two rpm: weight comparison
The weight of a 180 g apple is about 4.02 times the equivalent force on a 1 kg sample of a ten-metre centrifuge at two rpm.
FORCE
This is the downward force exerted by gravity on an average eating apple.
A ten-metre centrifuge at two rpm is a rotating device used to simulate artificial gravity by spinning samples at a controlled speed.
Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Weight of a 180 g apple
Weight: 1.765 N; example.
Force on a 180 g apple at standard Earth gravity. Its mass is 0.18 kg.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked weight is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Ten-metre centrifuge at two rpm
Equivalent force on a 1 kg sample: 0.4387 N; derived.
A defined 10 m radius centrifuge rotating at 2 rpm. It produces about 0.439 m/s² centripetal acceleration, expressed here as 0.439 N on a 1 kg sample; speed and period are derived from the same model.
Defined examples — our methodology
