The correct answer is: 4π2
Given, diameter of circle, d = 50 cm
=50×10-2m
And frequency, f = 2 Hz
The acceleration of particle in a uniform circular motion can be given as
a=ω2x
Where, ω = angular frequency = 2πf
X = distance from centre =d2
a=4π2f2×d2 … (i)
Substituting given values in Eq. (i), we get
a=4π2×4×50×10-22=4π2
