8. D There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 12 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 2.0 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall?

Shown is a 100 g puck revolving at 100 rpm on a 20-cm-radius circle on a frictionless table. A string attached to the puck passes through a hole in the middle of the table. The end of the string below the table is then slowly pulled down until the puck is revolving in a 10-cm-radius circle. How many revolutions per minute does the puck make at this new radius?
I need help with this problem. Thanks
