A small cart describes a “dead loop” of radius R in a vertical plane, rolling down from a minimum height that ensures the passage of the entire loop. What is the total acceleration of the cart at the moment when its speed is vertical? At what height h is the pressure force on the rails equal to 3/2 the weight of the cart? Friction can be neglected.
