A particle is moving clockwise around a circle with a radius 3.31 m. The magnitude of the total acceleration of the particle at the given instant is 14.3 m/s^2; the angle between the vector of total acceleration and the radius-vector of the particle is 30◦.

Question

A particle is moving clockwise around a circle with a radius 3.31 m. The magnitude of the total acceleration of the particle at the given instant is 14.3 m/s^2; the angle between the vector of total acceleration and the radius-vector of the particle is 30◦.
Find the centripetal acceleration, tangential acceleration and speed of the particle at the given instant.
