Best Answer

Two formulas are commonly used for centripetal acceleration:

1) a = v2/r (v = speed, r = radius)

2) a = omega2 x r (omega = angular speed, r = radius)

Formula 2 seems simpler to use in this case. Note that the angular speed must be in radians/second, so you must first convert rpm to radians per secnd.
