Question: An object is sliding ( not rolling ) along a frictionless ramp. ( In other words, ignore all rotational kinetic energy associated with the rolling

An object is sliding (not rolling) along a frictionless ramp. (In other words, ignore all rotational kinetic energy associated with the rolling of the object.) It then goes around three loops.
In the highest point of which loop is the normal force that the track exerts on the object smallest in magnitude? Assume that the object makes it fully around each loop and never loses contact with the track.
