Question

When solving for the normal force at C, why is there no tangential acceleration? 

Solutions
Conservation of total energy
1. The spring of constant k is unstretched when the slider of
mass m passes position B. If the slider is released from rest
in position A, determine its speed as it passes point B and
C. What is the normal force exerted by the guide on the
slider at position C? Neglect friction between the mass and
the circular guide, which lies in a vertical plane.

Solution:
C
The system is a conservative system, for position A, B and C
we have
E1 = E2= E3
