An object of mass, m is moving with a constant velocity v. How much work should be done on the object in order to bring the object to rest?

Radius of gyration of object is constant.

An object of mass m is released from rest at a height h above the surface of a table. The object slides along the inside of the loop. The loop track consisting of a ramp and a circular loop of radius R shown in the figure. Assume that the track is frictionless. When the object is at the top of the circular track it pushes against the track with a force equal to three times its weight. What height was the object dropped from?
