Explanation / Answer

here,

the speed of block is v = sqrt(3* g * r)

the magnitude of the normal force acting on the block when it is at the top of the loop , N = m * v^2 /r - mg

N = m * 3 * g * r /r - m * g

N = 2 * m * g

the magnitude of the normal force acting on the block when it is at the top of the loop is b) 2mg
