A small ball is attached to one end of a massless, rigid rod. The ball and the rod revolve in a horizontal circle with the other end of the rod at the center. The path of the ball has a constant linear speed. The force exerted by the rod is 0.5 N. The mass of the ball is 3kg. What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball, in m/s2?
