I've figured out the part of this question that asks you to show that the energy =2mrg a the highest point, but I need help finding the normal force between the wire and the mass.
A small ring of mass m can slide on a vertical smooth circular wire of radius r and having centre O. From a point on the wire at a vertical distance r/2 above O, the ring is given a velocity of √rg, along the downward tangent to the wire. Show that at its highest point of the circular path it is going to have energy = 2mrg. Find the normal force between the wire and the mass when the mass is at a vertical distance r/2 below O.
