Solution

The correct option is A 2.7m/s2
Centripetal acceleration =V²/r
V= Distance / time.
7 revolutions per minute.
1 revolution =2×3.142×5=31.42m
7 revolutions =7×22/7×2×5=220m
220 m in 60 second
In one second we have :
=3.667m/s
Centripetal acceleration=3.6672/5=2.689m/s2
Hence, Option A is correct .
