Show all work in the following problems including a sketch of the problem.
Draw the freebody forces on this sketch. Assume magic land conditions and
use a gravity constant = g unless the problem states otherwise. |

A rollercoaster has a vertical loop. Find an expression for the minimum
height of the entry ramp to the loop if the car is to make a complete loop.
Assume that the car has zero velocity at the top of the ramp and that there
are no safety devices to prevent the car from falling off the track when the
car is upside-down. |
