Problem P. 4069. (April 2008)

P. 4069. The figure shows a circular trough in a vertical plane. A small object is started at point A with a vertically downward initial velocity, such that it runs along the trough until it reaches point B, at which it takes off, and then it falls back exactly to point A. What is the maximum value of the angle \beta? (Air resistance is negligible.)
