- Q 5 pleasearrow_forwardE. The centripetal acceleration of a particle moving in a circle is given by the formula a = s²/r where r is the radius and s is the speed of the particle. a) Consider a as a function of s and r. Compute the differential of a. b) Suppose that the particle is moving with speed 50cm/sec and the radius is 10cm. Use the differential to estimate the change in centripetal acceleration if the radius is changed to 9.80cm and the speed is changed to 51cm/sec. (Answ: 15) c) Suppose that the speed can be measured to within +3% and the radius can be measured to within +2%. Use the differential to approximate the maximum percent error in a. (Hint: The percent error in a quantity is the error in the quantity (da) divided by the quantity (a).)
