I believe you're looking for F=mass x w (angular speed in rads/sec)^2 x radius

couple that with F = mass x acc (centripetal) and you get

acc (centr) (looking for 32f/s^2 here = w^2 x r

so square root of 32/3

or 3.266 rads / sec which is about 1/2 rev per sec.

I think that's correct, but not positive. Will have to check tomorrow after some sleep.
