Question

A simple pendulum of length r and bob mass m swings in a vertical circle with angular frequency ω. When the string makes an angle θ with the vertical, the speed of the bob is v. The radical acceleration of the bob at this instant is given by

Solution

Correct option is

 

 

The radial component of acceleration is ar = centripetal acceleration
