In a large centrifuge used for training astronauts and pilots, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates in a horizontal circle. A trainee riding in the chamber of a centrifuge rotating with a constant angular speed of 2.5 rad/s experiences a centripetal acceleration of 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity. In a second training exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from rest with a fix angular acceleration. When the centrifuge reaches an angular speed of 2.5 rad/s, the trainee experiences a total acceleration equivalent to 4.8 times the acceleration due to gravity.

(a) Determine how long is the arm of the centrifuge?

(b) Find the angular acceleration of the centrifuge in the second training exercise?
