$A$ simple pendulum consisting of a light inextensible string of length $\ell$ attached to a heavy small bob of mass $m$ is at rest. The bob is imparted a horizontal impulsive force which gives it a speed of $u = \sqrt{4 g \ell}$. The speed of the bob at its highest point is ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is released from a height $H$ on a smooth curved surface which ends into a vertical loop of radius $R$,as shown. If $\theta$ is the instantaneous angle which the line joining the particle and the centre of the loop makes with the vertical,then identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the normal reaction $N$ between the block and the surface.
