rotorSpeed: Calculate RPM/RCF

In centrifugeR: Non-Trivial Balance of Centrifuge Rotors

Calculate RPM/RCF

Description

rotorSpeed converts rotational speed to relative centrifuge force and vice versa.

Usage

rotorSpeed(radius, value, type)

Arguments

radius	a numeric, the centrifugal radius in millimeters.
value	a numeric, the rotational speed in revolutions per minute or the relative centrifuge force in × g.
type	the type of the above-mentioned value, "rpm" for rotational speed or "rcf" for relative centrifuge force.

Value

rotorSpeed returns a numeric that is the rotational speed in revolutions per minute or the relative centrifuge force in × g.
