The two blocks stick together and travel around a loop of radius R without losing contact with the track. Point A is at the top of the loop, point B is at the end of a horizon- tal diameter, and point C is at the bottom of the loop, as shown in the figure above. Assume that friction between the track and blocks is negligible. (a) The dots below represent the two connected blocks at points A, B, and C.
