Question:

In the design of an inside loop for an amusementpark ride, it is desired to maintain the same centripetal acceleration throughout the loop. Assume negligible loss of energy during the motion and determine the radius of curvature ρ of the path as a function of the height y above the low point A, where the velocity and radius of curvature are v0 and ρ0, respectively. For a given value of ρ0, what is the minimum value of v0 for which the vehicle will not leave the track at the top of the loop?
