Refer to the diagrams:
a) Let the velocity at A be .
Applying conservation of mechanical energy between the highest point of the track and point A:
From figure 2:
The resultant of normal force by the track and weight provides the necessary centripetal force:
Therefore, the force of the track on the block at point A is [answer]
b) Let the speed at point B is .
The height of point B from the lowest point is .
Applying conservation of mechanical energy between A and B:
Now, the resultant of normal force by the track and component of weight along the radius provides the necessary centripetal force (refer figure 3):
Therefore, the force of the track on the block at point B is [answer]
c) The block leaves the track at point B with the speed [answer]
d) The vertical component of speed is directed upward.
The horizontal component of speed is directed towards right.
When the block hits the ground the vertical displacement is
Let the time taken by the block to hit the ground is 't' from B.
Applying kinematic equation along vertical:
Now, the horizontal distance travelled from B is
Therefore, the distance of the point where the block hits the ground from A is
