Rolling on a Plane and a Loop!

A plane inclined at an angle of π 6 \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{6} ends in a circular loop of radius R = 2 m \displaystyle R=2m . The plane and the loop join smoothly. A marble (a solid sphere) of negligible radius and mass m = 20 g \displaystyle m=20g is released from the slope at height h = 3 R \displaystyle h=3R . What is the lowest value of the coefficient of friction if the marble rolls along the path without sliding?

The answer is in the form of α β \displaystyle \frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{\beta}} where α \displaystyle \alpha and β \displaystyle \beta are positive coprime integers. Find α + β \displaystyle \alpha+\beta


The answer is 113.
