### Problem Statement

**Scenario:**
A wheel on an indoor exercise bike (a spinning bike) accelerates steadily from 130 rpm to 280 rpm in 4.5 seconds. The radius of the wheel is 42 cm.

**Question:**
Determine the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a point on the edge of the wheel 2.0 seconds after it has started accelerating.

**Instructions:**
Express your answer using two significant figures.

### Calculation

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

1. **Convert rpm to radians per second (rad/s):**
   \[
   1 \, \text{rpm} = \frac{2\pi}{60} \, \text{rad/s}
   \]
   - Initial angular velocity (\( \omega_i \)):
     \[
     130 \, \text{rpm} \times \frac{2\pi}{60} \approx 13.6 \, \text{rad/s}
     \]
   - Final angular velocity (\( \omega_f \)):
     \[
     280 \, \text{rpm} \times \frac{2\pi}{60} \approx 29.3 \, \text{rad/s}
     \]

2. **Calculate angular acceleration (\( \alpha \)):**
   \[
   \alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}
   \]
   \[
   \alpha = \frac{29.3 \, \text{rad/s} - 13.6 \, \text{rad/s}}{4.5 \, \text{s}} \approx 3.48 \, \text{rad/s}^2
   \]

3. **Find angular velocity after 2.0 seconds (\( \omega \)):**
   \[
   \omega = \omega_i + \alpha t
   \]
   \[
   \omega = 13.6 \, \text{rad/s} + 3.48 \, \text{rad/s}^2 \times 2 \, \text{s} \approx 20.6 \, \text{rad/s}
   \]

4. **Determine the tangential acceleration (\( a_t \)):**
   \[
   a_t = r\alpha
   \]
   - Radius (\( r \)):
     \[
