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.
