Question

Could I have help with ratio of centripal accerleration question?

The large blade of a helicopter is rotating in a horizontal circle. The length of the blade is 7.34 m, measured from its tip to the center of
the circle. Find the ratio of the centripetal acceleration at the end of the blade to that which exists at a point located 5.26 m from the
center of the circle.
