A jet plane comes in for a downward dive as shown in the figure below. The bottom part of the path is a quarter circle having a radius of curvature of 350m . According to medical tests, pilots lose consciousness at an acceleration of 5.50g

At what speed (in m/s) will the pilot black out for this dive?

I was using the formula v(sq) ra so I did 5.5 x 350 x 9.81 and took the square root of that which turned out to be 137.4 but my answer is a bit off for some reason.
