    In uniform circular motion (circular motion at same speed), (tangential velocity) ^2/radius = acceleration towards the center of the circle (centripetal acceleration)

    Also, radius is the distance to the center of the circle (track).

    So, in your case, 15.4m/s^2 = (30.0m/s) ^2 / (radius)

    radius = (900. m^2/s^2) / (15.4m/s^2)

    radius = 58.4m
