a waterwheel built in Hamah, Syria, has a radius of 20 m . If the tangential velocity at the wheels edge is 7.85 m/s , what is the centripetal acceleration of the wheel?

3.08m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius = 20m

Tangential velocity  = 7.85m/s

Unknown:

Centripetal acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of a body along a circular path.

 it is mathematically given as;

       a  =  

v is the tangential velocity

r is the radius

      a  =   = 3.08m/s²
