A ball swings in avertical circle at the end of a rope 1.5 m ong. When the ball is 36.9 degrees past the lowest point on its way up, its total acceleration is (-22.5 i, 20.2 j) m/s^2. At that instant, determine the magnitude of its radical acceleration.

I have the answer, which is 29.7 cm/s^2. I do not understand how to get there.

Details please. Thanks a lot.

radical acceleration is the same as centripetal acceleration. The acceleration towards the center of a circle.
