In the diagram below a car starts from rest at point A which is 37.5 m above point C. It then slides down the hill, travels around the loop. When the car is at point B, it is going the minimum possible speed it could be going without falling. After completing the loop, it compresses a 294,000 N/m spring 6.9 m. Assume there's no friction present. A.) Determine the loop's radius. B.) Determine the car's mass.
