Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) mg/4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

image
\(mg \frac{l}{2}=\frac{ m l^2}{3} \alpha\)
\(\alpha=\frac{3 g}{2 l}\)...(1)
\(mg - T = ma _{ c }\)
\(T = mg - ma _{ c }\)
\(= mg - m \left(\frac{l}{2} \alpha\right)\)
\(= mg - m \left(\frac{l}{2} \cdot \frac{3 g}{2 l}\right)\)
\(T =\frac{ mg }{4}\)
