Determine the cars mass if the following information is given. In the diagram a car starts from rest at point A which is 40 m above point C. It then slides down the hill, travels around the loop. When the car is at point B, it is going the minimum possible speed it could be going without falling. After completing the loop, it compresses a 627,200 N/m spring 2.1 m. Note: Assume there's no friction present.

Expert Solution
Step 1
The height of point A is h = 40 m
the radius of the circle is R = 16 m
therefore, the height of point b is 2R = 32 m
the spring constant is k = 627,200 N/m
compression in spring is X = 2.1 m
It is given to assume there is no presence of friction.
let m be the mass of the car.
