In the figure here, a solid brass ball of mass 0.319 g will roll
smoothly along a loop-the-loop track when released from rest along
the straight section. The circular loop has radius R =
0.15 m, and the ball has radius r <<
R.
(a) What is h if the ball is on the verge
of leaving the track when it reaches the top of the loop?
(b) If the ball is released at height h =
6R, what is the magnitude of the horizontal force
component acting on the ball at point Q?
