One end of a light string of length l is tied to a small sphere and the other end is attached to a fixed point O at the ceiling of a room. The sphere is gently released from rest when the string is horizontal. When the string is vertical, acceleration of the sphere is

a
2g
b
zero
c
g
d
g/2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

(1)The sphere will follow a vertical circular path. At its lowest position, is speed is V.Conserving energy,  12 mV2=mgl  ⇒   V=2gl∴    Acceleration  at  B,  an=V2l=2gll=2g
