The height from which he should start it is 6.25m.
Potential energy, mgh of the body equals to the kinetic energy (1/2 mv²).
So, mgh = (1/2) mv².
where, m is the mass,
v is the velocity of cyclist,
g is acceleration due to gravity.
Cancelling m from both sides, we get:
gh = (1/2)v².
⇒v = √(2gh)
Again,in the globe of death minimum velocity required to loop = √(5gr)
r is the radius of globe,
As both the velocities are equal,
√(2gh) = √(5gr)
Squaring both sides,
2gh = 5gr.
⇒ h = 5r/2
Diameter = 5m, so radius = diameter/2 = 5m/2 = 2.5m
So, height from which it shoulf start is
h = (5×2.5)/2 = 6.25m.
