An object of mass 18 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless "loop the loop" track. The loop has a radius of 4.9 m. What height, y, above the top of the loop should the object be released so that the object will just remain in contact with the track at the top? (Use g = 9.8m/s2 and round answer to 1 decimal place.)
