    Mechanics Problem using Polar Coordinates

    This is what I have so far, please need urgent help. I don't understand and know what to do. For the first part, I got a really long answer, for the second part I am trying in terms of mv^2/r = mg, or mg = m*(answer to first), but I am getting nowhere. PLease help
