Question Image

The above figure depicts the motion. The velocity vector along the horizontal remains unchanged. Hence, if y is the speed when the velocity becomes parallel to the incline, then 

vcos37=16cos600m/sv=10m/s

The normal component of the acceleration is 

an=gcos37=10m/s2(4/5)=8m/s2

Hence, the radius of curvature is

r=v2an=(10m/s)28m/s=12.5m
