The net force acting on the object is resultant of R m ⋅ v 2 and m ⋅ g ⇒ ( R m ⋅ v 2 ) 2 + ( m g ) 2 = 1 7 ⋅ m ⋅ g ⇒ v 2 = 4 ⋅ g ⋅ R thus from W o r k E n e r g y T h e o r e m we get the height achieved by the object from point P as h = 2 ⋅ R So total height achieved by the object is h + R = 3 R . We can design the ramp so that object touches the ramp at its heighest point so it gives h m a x = 3 R
