A smooth semicircular wire track of radius R is fixed in a vertical plane. One end of a massless spring of natural length  3R4 is attached to the lowest point O of the wire track. A small ring of mass m which can slide on the track is attached to the other end of the spring. The ring is held stationary at point P such that the spring makes an angle of 60° with the vertical. The spring constant K=mgR. Consider the instant when the ring is released. The normal reaction on the ring by the track is
