The shaft of the engine of a car rotates at 4,258 rpm. A flywheel 24.5 cm in diameter rotates with the shaft. Calculate the centripetal acceleration of a point on the rim of the flywheel and express it in units of g, i.e. the gravitational acceleration, with a single digit of precision. You do not need to enter g in the answer, so if you calculate 4.0 g, just enter 4.0.
