A fairgrounds ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has a 9.00 m radius, at how many revolutions per minute will the riders be subjected to a centripetal acceleration whose magnitude is 2.20 times that due to gravity? \( \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min} \)
