Answer:
29.6 m/s^2
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration is given by:
[tex]a=\omega^2 r[/tex]
where
[tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular velocity
r is the radius of the circular path
In this problem, we have the following data:
radius: r = 1.4 m
While we have to convert the angular velocity from rev/s to rad/s:
[tex]\omega=0.732 \frac{rev}{s} \cdot 2 \pi \frac{rad}{rev}=4.6 rad/s[/tex]
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is
[tex]a=(4.6 rad/s)^2(1.4 m)=29.6 m/s^2[/tex]
