A block with mass M slides down a ramp and goes around a frictionless loop as shown. It's initial height above the bottom of the loop is Δh = 4R and the block starts at rest. (Please note the diagram below is not drawn to scale.) What will the magnitude of the normal force the track exerts on the block at position 2 be? 2Mg 4Mg Mg 3Mg Zero
