Question

A mass of 4.1 kg is released from the uppermost point of the track (see fig) and clears the loop of radius R = 1.71 m with a speed 1.20 times greater than the minimum speed required to maintain contact with the track. Find the height H from which this object was released. Give the answer in meters.

Step 1

At the top of the loop, the centripetal force required to keep the object moving in a circular path is provided by the gravitational force acting on the object. The centripetal force is given by the equation: F_c = m * v^2 / r where F_c is the centripetal Show more…
