Computer-controlled display screens provide drivers in the Indianapolis 500 with a variety of information about how their cars are performing. For instance, as a car is going through a turn, a speed of 87.5 m/s and centripetal acceleration of 2.48 g (2.48 times the acceleration due to gravity) are displayed. Determine the radius of the turn (in meters).
