Question : A bob of mass M is suspended by a massless string of length L. The horizontal velocity 𝑣 at position A is just sufficient to make it reach the point B. The angle 𝜃 at which the speed of the bob is half of that at A, satisfies

(A) $\theta =\dfrac{\pi }{4}$

(B) $\dfrac{\pi }{4} <\theta <\dfrac{\pi }{2}$

(D) $\dfrac{3\pi }{4} <\theta <\pi$

Answer : option (D)

Solution :

A bob of mass M is suspended by a massless string of length L. The horizontal velocity 𝑣 at position A is just sufficient to make it reach the point B. The angle 𝜃 at which the speed of the bob is half of that at A, satisfies
