  1. A mg/2
  2. B mg/4
  3. C mg/3
  4. D mg
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) mg/4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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