1.

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