Which risk increases when designing a high-speed centrifuge and neglecting mass-energy equivalence?

💡 Explanation

Higher speeds cause a mass increase via mass-energy equivalence. The resulting inertial forces increase according to F=ma because the increased mass will experience a greater centripetal force; therefore, the vessel may rupture, rather than operating under predicted lower stresses.
