A frictionless track $ABCDE$ ends in a circular loop of radius $R,$ figure. A body slides down the track from point $A$ which is at a height $h = 5\ $cm. Maximum value of $R$ for the body to successfully complete the loop is [image:4_image3.emf]

(d) For successfully completing the loop,
$h = \frac{5}{4}R \Rightarrow R = \frac{2h}{5} = \frac{2 	imes 5}{5} = 2cm$
