Problem

A trolley of mass m rolls along the rails forming a horizontal circular path of radius R at speed v. The worker runs after it and starts stopping it by pulling the cable tied to the trolley with force F at an angle π\pi − α\alpha to the direction of the trolley's speed. How many turns in a circle will the trolley make before stopping? Ignore the friction. 50
