this the problem
A particle P of mass M moves on the smooth inner surface of a fixed hollow
spherical bowl,centre O and inner radius r,describing a horizontal circle at constant speed.The centre C of this circle is at a depth r/3 vertically below O.Determine
(a)The magnitude of the force exerted by the surface of the sphere on P
(b)the speed of P
i know conservation of energy is involved but don't know how to go about it.
