Hello there,

The formula to calculate centripetal acceleration from radius of circle and speed of the particle is:

centripetal acceleration = [(speed) ^2]/radius

                                   = (15*15)/2

                                   =225/2

                                   =112.5  m/s²

Hope this helps.
