track having radius R. The diameter of the shell is very small compared to h 0 and R, and the work done by rolling friction is negligible. (a) What is the minimum height h0 for which this shell will
make a complete loop-the-loop on the circular part of the track?
(b) How hard does the track push on the shell at point B, which is
at the same level as the center of the circle? (c) Suppose that the
track had no friction and the shell was released from the same
height h 0 you found in part (a). Would it make a complete loopthe-loop? How do you know? (d) In part (c), how hard does the
track push on the shell at point A, the top of the circle? How hard
did it push on the shell in part (a)?
