A) In terms of the mass of the block m, spring constant k, radius of the loop, R, and the acceleration due to gravity, g. What is the minimum compression distance (from relaxed length) of the spring if the block is to make it around the loop without leaving the track? B) After exiting the loop, the block encounters a rough surface where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface is u. What is the minimum stopping distance on the rough surface needed if the block had the minimum speed to stay on the track from part a?
