Sorry for not writing the units.
Given, angular accn (aa) = 4
So, at any instant, tangential acceleration = Radius * aa
= 4R
Now after any time t, angular velocity = 0+4t = 4t
=> Linear velocity(v) = Radius*Angular velocity = 4Rt
So, centripetal accn = v2 /R = 16Rt2
According to question, 16Rt2 = 4R => t = 1/2 sec
