In accordance with conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the sphere at the top
position in the loop is equal to the decrease mgh in potential energy as it falls from the initial position to
this position. The kinetic energy of the sphere is composed of two parts; the translational kinetic energy
of the sphere and the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere about its centre of mass. Let m, K, U, ω be
respectively the mass, kinetic energy, velocity of the centre of mass and angular velocity about the centre
