A typical running track is an oval with 74-m-diameter half circles at each end. A runner going once around the track covers a distance of \(400 \mathrm{~m}\). Suppose a runner, moving at a constant speed, goes once around the track in \(1 \mathrm{~min} 40 \mathrm{~s}\). What is her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track?
