RFORCE uses wrong units for rotational velocity #252

Description

@victorkemp

It seems to treat the input as in radian/time instead of revolution/time.

Affects commit e7c0d1

Example:
rotational velocity = 1.5 rev/time
omega = 2 * pi * rotational velocity
r = 2
m = 7
F = m * omega**2 * r
= 1243.5701545372592
Reaction force = -F

Mystran:-3.150000E+01 wrong
Comlab: -1.243570E+03 correct
