### Problem Statement: Rolling Cylinder on an Inclined Plane

#### Description:
A cylinder of radius \( r = 0.2 \) meters is about to start rolling down an inclined plane. The acceleration of the center of the cylinder is \( 9.81 \sin(\theta) \) meters per second squared (m/s\(^2\)). The angular acceleration is \( 9.81 \sin(\theta) / r \) radians per second squared (rad/s\(^2\)). Assume \( \theta = 0.8 \) rad.

#### Objective:
Calculate the magnitude of acceleration of the point on the cylinder furthest from the inclined plane in meters per second squared (m/s\(^2\)).

#### Hint:
Since the cylinder is about to start rolling, the velocity of the center of the cylinder and the angular velocity of the cylinder are still zero at that instant.

#### User Interaction:
- **User Answered**: 0.2739 (This is the user's input).
- **Correct Answer**: 14.075 (with a margin of error of +/- 2%).

### Explanation:
1. **Acceleration of the Center of the Cylinder**:
   - Given acceleration of the center: \( a_c = 9.81 \sin(\theta) \) m/s\(^2\).
   - With \( \theta = 0.8 \) rad, calculate \( a_c \).

2. **Angular Acceleration**:
   - Given angular acceleration: \( \alpha = 9.81 \sin(\theta) / r \) rad/s\(^2\).

3. **Acceleration of the Furthest Point**:
   - The acceleration of the point on the cylinder furthest from the inclined plane combines linear and rotational motion.
   - This point experiences both tangential and centripetal components.

#### Calculation:

1. Compute the given values with the provided formulae:

   Let's calculate \( a_c \) first:
   \[
   a_c = 9.81 \sin(0.8) \text{ m/s}^2 \quad \text{(Use sin(0.8) value from a calculator or table)}
   \]

2. Compute the angular acceleration \( \alpha \):
   \[
   \alpha = \frac{9.81 \sin(0.8)}{0.2} \text{ rad/s}^2
   \]
