Figure 6 shows a roller-coaster car released from rest from height h. The car then slides freely down a frictionless track which includes a circular loop of radius R as shown in the figure.
(a) Find the required height h of the release point in terms of R such that the car barely makes it around the loop
(b) Show that when the rethe normal force on the car at the bottom of the loop exceeds that of the top of the loop by six times the car's weight.
