If the 2-kg block passes over the top B of the circularportion of the path with a speed
Chapter 3, Problem 3/48(choose chapter or problem)
If the 2-kg block passes over the top B of the circular portion of the path with a speed of \(3.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), calculate the magnitude \(N_B\) of the normal force exerted by the path on the block. Determine the maximum speed v which the block can have at A without losing contact with the path.

QUESTION:
If the 2-kg block passes over the top B of the circular portion of the path with a speed of \(3.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), calculate the magnitude \(N_B\) of the normal force exerted by the path on the block. Determine the maximum speed v which the block can have at A without losing contact with the path.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Draw the free body diagram of the block at point B as shown in figure below
Here, weight of the block at point B is mg, force on the block at point B is FB the normal force exerted by path on the block NB tangential direction is t and radial direction is n.
Applying Newton's second law of motion for force along the normal direction.
