mechanical energy problem 3

The video tutorial explores a complex problem involving a block attached to an unstretched spring, sliding down a frictionless circular path. The goal is to determine the block's velocity at the end of the path using mechanical energy principles. The tutorial covers creating a free body diagram, identifying forces, and calculating changes in kinetic, potential, and elastic energy. It concludes with solving for the block's velocity using derived equations.
