1.In part of a giant Rube-Goldberg machine you are building, a 13.6 pound bowling ball (with a radius of 21.593 cm) is released from rest at the top of a ramp of height h. It rolls down the ramp, and then around a loop, just barely making it around the loop without falling off. The loop has a radius of R=1meter.
a.) What is the minimum height (h) at which the ball should be released so that it makes it all the way around the loop without falling off?
b.) If you instead had a solid disk roll down the hill instead of a ball, would it need to start from a higher height, a lower height, or the same height,in order to make it around the loop?
