Athin-walled, starts from rest and rolls without slipping down a track (Fig. P10.72). Points A and B are on a circular part of the track having radius R. The diameter of the shell is very small compared to h0 and R, and the work done by rolling friction is negligible. (a) What is the minimum height h0 for which this shell will make a complete loop-the-loop on the circular part of the track

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min

answera compound;
