A block of mass m = 1.8 kg starts at rest on a rough inclined plane a height H = 8m above the ground. It slides down the plane, across a frictionless horizontal floor, and then around a frictionless loop-the-loop of radius R = 2.0 m. On the floor the speed of the block is observed to be 11 m/s.
What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block at the top of the loop?
