Question

I am completely stumped on this one. 

Each of the space shuttle's main engines is fed liquid hydrogen by a high-pressure pump. Turbine blades inside the pump rotate at 557
rev/s. A point on one of the blades traces out a circle with a radius of 0.0195 m as the blade rotates. (a) What is the magnitude of the
centripetal acceleration that the blade must sustain at this point? (b) Express this acceleration as a multiple of g=9.80 m/s².
