How fast (in rpm) must a centrifuge rotate if a particle 4.1cm from the axis of rotation is to experience an acceleration of 500000g 's?

Use the formuila a = \omega^2r, to find the value for \omega, which is the rotational velocity in radians per second. Then convert from radians per second to RPM.
