Review Problem
A very small block of mass m is placed at the top of a hemispherical
frictionless cap of radius R. The block is given a slight nudge (Vi
» 0)
just enough to make it slide down the cap, which itself sits on top of a
horizontal table.
Where will it land?
Note: The answer must be expressed only in
terms of R. If you have trouble dealing with symbols you may assign a
value for R (for instance, R = 1 m).
