Find magnitude of acceleration of train engine


A spiral transition curve is used on railroads to connect a straight potion of the track with a curved portion. If the spiral is defined by the equation y=x^3/10^6 where x and y are in feet, determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the train engine moving with a constant speed of 40 ft/sec when it is at a point x=600 ft.
