A simple pendulum consisting of a mass $M$ attached to a string of length $L$ is released from rest at an angle $\alpha$. $A$ 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 string makes with the vertical after hitting the pin is :-

822-656

  • A

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{L\cos \alpha  + l}}{{L + l}}} \right]$

  • B

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{L\cos \alpha  + l}}{{L - l}}} \right]$

  • C

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{L\cos \alpha  - l}}{{L - l}}} \right]$

  • D

    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{L\cos \alpha  - l}}{{L + l}}} \right]$
