    A simple pendulum consisting of a mass \[M\] attached to a string of length L is released from rest at an angle \[a\]. A pin is located at a distance \[l\] below the pivot point. When the pendulum swings down, the string hits the pin as shown in the figure. The maximum angle \[\theta \] which the string makes with the vertical after hitting the pin is

    A)  \[{{\cos }^{1}}\left[ \frac{L\,\cos a+l}{L+l} \right]\]     

    B)  \[{{\cos }^{1}}\left[ \frac{L\,\cos a+l}{L-l} \right]\]

    C)  \[{{\cos }^{1}}\left[ \frac{L\,\cos a-l}{L-l} \right]\]         

    D)  \[{{\cos }^{1}}\left[ \frac{L\,\cos a-l}{L+l} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Since the pendulum started with no kinetic energy. Conservation of energy, implies that the potential energy at \[{{Q}_{\max }}\]must be equal to the original potential energy, i.e., the vertical position will be same. Therefore, \[L\cos \alpha =l+(L-1)cos\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \cos \theta =\frac{L\cos \alpha -l}{L-1}\] \[\Rightarrow \theta ={{\cos }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{L\cos \alpha -l}{L-l} \right]\]
