The correct answer is: 16 m s-2 
Given, the wheel's radius =m,

velocity =m s-1

As velocity is uniform, therefore acceleration experienced by the wheel in a circular motion,

a=v2r=422=8 m s-2

Relative acceleration of the topmost point of the wheel with respect to the bottom-most point of the wheel

= aT- aB

=8--8=16 m s-2
