RPM ↔ RCF converter

Convert between rotor speed (RPM) and relative centrifugal force (×g) for a given rotor radius, in either direction. The conversion is exact physics — RCF = ω²r/g — and the only judgement in it is which radius: a protocol's ×g conventionally means the rotor's MAXIMUM radius, and using the wrong one scales the force by the ratio of the two.

Request body

radiusCmnumber required

Rotor radius in cm — the maximum radius, from the rotor manual. Required: there is no typical rotor to assume.

rpmnumber

Speed in revolutions per minute. Give this OR rcf.

rcfnumber

Relative centrifugal force in ×g. Give this OR rpm.

Response

Tool ran successfully.

okunknown required
toolstring required

The tool slug that ran.

resultobject required

Tool-specific output object. Its shape depends on the tool — call GET /{tool} or see the docs for each tool's fields.
