Problem

A block of mass 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} is released from rest at a height HH above the bottom of a frictionless circular loop-the-loop track of radius 4.0 m4.0\,\text{m}. Determine the minimum value of HH that will allow the block to maintain contact with the track all the way around the loop. Assume g=9.8 m / s2g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,/\,\text{s}^2 and express HH in meters.
