What is the total acceleration at the rim of the wheel at time t = 30.00 s?

Tip: At first, determine the tangential acceleration and the centripetal acceleration. Finally, calculate the vector sum of these.
Answer: $3{,}6\ \frac{m}{s^2}$ and the angle with respect to the radius of the wheel $\theta\approx0{,}4°$
