A cart and block at the top of a vertical loop of radius R.
A cart of mass \(M\) carries a small block of mass \(m\) as it travels through a vertical circular loop of radius \(R\). At the instant the cart is at the top of the loop, it is moving with the minimum speed required for the block to maintain contact with the floor of the cart. What is the magnitude of the net force on the cart-block system at this instant?
