The two factors that determine relative centrifugal force are:
A) Radius of rotor head and revolutions per minute (RPM)
B) Radius of rotor head and time of centrifugation
C) Diameter of rotor head and RPM
D) RPM and time of centrifugation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative centrifugal force (RCF) is directly proportional to the radius of the rotor head and the square of the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the centrifuge. Therefore, the correct factors that determine RCF are the radius of rotor head and RPM. The other options are incorrect as they either do not include the correct variables or include unnecessary variables.
