The centripetal acceleration is
Explanation:
For an object in uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by
where
v is the speed of the object
r is the radius of the circle
The speed of the object is equal to the ratio between the length of the circumference () and the period of revolution (T), so it can be rewritten as
Therefore we can rewrite the acceleration as
For the particle in this problem,
r = 2.06 cm = 0.0206 m
While it makes 4 revolutions each second, so the period is
Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:
