Young David who slew Goliath experimented with slings before tackling the giant. He found that he could revolve a sling of length 0.650 m at the rate of 9.00 rev/s. If he increased the length to 0.950 m, he could revolve the sling only 7.00 times per second.

(b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the stone at 9.00 rev/s?
_____________m/s2
(c) What is the centripetal acceleration at 7.00 rev/s?
