Detailed Solution

The acceleration towards centre CAC=ω2RThe tangential acceleration at, is given byat=dvdt=0∴  Net acceleration =ω2Ror   ac=(2πn)2R=4π2n2R=4π222442   (1)=π2m/s2 towards centre *** when a body moves with constant speed in a horizontal circle then it possesses only centri petal acceleration.
