a. Find the changes in potential energy of the mass with angle
b. Find the kinetic energy as a function of angle
c. Find the radial and tangential acceleration as a function of angle
d. Find the angle at which the mass files off the hemisphere
e. If there is friction between the mass and hemisphere, does the mass fly off at a greater or lesser angle than in part (d) ?
