A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of 35 m. If he completes the 200 m dash in 24.2 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of his centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) as he runs the curved portion of the track
