Answer

Option (C) is correct.

Work Step by Step

We know that $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_{cp}}{r}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{49.05m/s^2}{1.905m}}$ This simplifies to: $\omega=5.0743rad/s$ Now we convert it into rpm as $(5.0743rad/s)(\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad})(\frac{60s}{1min})=48.5rpm$ Thus, the curve that coincides with $48.5rpm$ from the x-axis and 5gs from the y-axis is curve 3 and we see that option C is correct.
