Does acceleration of the rim mean just tangential or both tangential and centripetal acceleration?

On my physics homework, the problem specifies that the acceleration of the rim of a flywheel can't exceed 100g. Does this mean that the tangential acceleration only, or the sum of the tangential and ...

Can we measure little $g$ in this way?

If a cup of water (known mass) is whirled round at the end of a string, and we look for the exact angular velocity which makes water remain in the cup, is it possible, by knowing the force equilibrium,...
