Problem 4.18
See example 4.6.1 - the figure is the same except the radius
is called "b" instead of "a". The solution is carried out
in the same way except the starting condition is z = b/2
instead of z = b. (In both cases, the particle starts
from rest, the particle slides without friction, and
the size of the particle is small compared
to the size of the sphere.)
Remember this problem when you get to problem 8.16.
