A block of mass m=4.29kg is released from rest at an unknown height h. The coefficient of friction between the block and the incline oriented at an angle of 0=34° is U=0.33. Assume the circular part of the track is frictionless and the radius of the track is R=0.71m. Find the minimum height h, for the block to remain in contact with the track at all times, even at the top of the circular loop. Take g =9.81m/s? and express your final result using two decimal places.

Question
A block of mass m=4.29kg is released from rest at an unknown height h. The coefficient of friction between the block and the
incline oriented at an angle of 0 =34° is Uk=0.33. Assume the circular part of the track is frictionless and the radius of the track
is R=0.71m. Find the minimum height h, for the block to remain in contact with the track at all times, even at the top of the
circular loop. Take g =9.81m/s? and express your final result using two decimal places.
