Answer:
linear acceleration = 14.8 m/sec^2

Explanation:
The linear acceleration of a rotating body can be calculated using the following rule:
linear acceleration = (radius)*(angular velocity)^2
We are given that:
radius = 0.015 m
angular velocity = 
5.0 rev/s = 5.0 * 2 * pi = 10 pi rad
Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the linear acceleration as follows:
linear acceleration = (0.015) * (10*pi)^2 = 14.8 m/sec^2

Hope this helps :)
