    Vertical Loop Problem: Minimum Height for Contact and Normal Force Calculation

    The answer, in terms of R, is actually 5/2R. We just worked this similar problem during lecture. Arad acceleration is = V^2/R. Let R be solved and swap Arad for g gravity and you have minimal velocity at the highest point of the loop [v=(R*g)^(1/2)]. This can also be written as V^2 = R*g...
