A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle of radius 0.290m. The plane of the circle is 1.28m above the ground. The string breaks and the ball lands 2.05m (horizontally) away from the point on the ground directly beneath the ball's location when the string breaks. Calculate the radial acceleration of the ball during its circular motion.

A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a
horizontal circle of radius 0.290m. The plane of the circle
is 1.28m above the ground. The string breaks and the
ball lands 2.05m (horizontally) away from the point on
the ground directly beneath the ball's location when the
string breaks. Calculate the radial acceleration of the ball
during its circular motion.
