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