Answer

$14.25\space s$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. We know that, $Acceleration\space (a)=\frac{V^{2}}{r}\space in\space circular\space motion$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $a=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ $3.7\space m/s^{2}=\frac{V^{2}}{19\space m}$ $V=8.38\space m/s$ We know, the rotation period (T) of circular motion $=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ & $\omega = \frac{V}{r}$ So we can write, $T=\frac{2\pi}{(\frac{V}{r})}= \frac{2\pi r}{V}$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $T=\frac{2\times\pi \times19\space m}{8.38\space m/s}= 14.25\space s$
