if a particle starts from the top
the speed of the particle will be given by energy conservation law
it is given as
change in the potential energy = gain in kinetic energy
mgR(1 - cos\theta) = \frac{1}{2} mv^2
from force equation now
since it break off at this position so normal force will be zero
mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}
now we will use the value from above two equations
mgcos\theta = 2mg*(1 - cos\theta)
by solving above equation
3cos\theta = 2
cos\theta = \frac{2}{3}
 
now for tangential acceleration as we know that
 
a_t = \frac{F_t}{m}
a_t = \frac{mgsin\theta}{m}
a_t = gsin\theta
 
from above equation
sin\theta = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}
so tangential acceleration will be
 
a_t = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}*g
a_t = 7.45m/s^2
