A chainsaw is shown in FIGURE 10-27. When the saw is in operation, the chain moves with a linear speed of v = 5.5 m/s. At the end of the saw, the chain follows a semicircular path with a radius of r = 0.044 m.

(a) What is the angular speed of the chain as it goes around the end of the saw?

(b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the chain at the end of the saw?
