$A$ particle of mass $m$ is released from a height $H$ on a smooth curved surface which ends into a vertical loop of radius $R$,as shown. If $\theta$ is the instantaneous angle which the line joining the particle and the centre of the loop makes with the vertical,then identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the normal reaction $N$ between the block and the surface.

  • A
    The maximum value of $N$ occurs at $\theta = 0$.
  • B
    The minimum value of $N$ occurs at $\theta = \pi$ for $H > 5R/2$.
  • C
    The value of $N$ becomes zero only when $\theta \geq \pi / 2$.
  • D
    All of the above.
