A particle travels clockwise around a circular path as shown below. The speed of the particle is given as a function of position s, such that v(s) = (s^2 ) m⁄sec where position is measured in meters. The radius of the circle is 1 m. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at the position s = 1 m?
