$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $l$. The bob is given a horizontal velocity $v_0$ as shown in the figure. If the string becomes slack at some point $P$ making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,the ratio of the speed $v_p$ of the bob at point $P$ to its initial speed $v_0$ is:

  • A
    $(\sin \theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{1}{2+3 \sin \theta}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{\cos \theta}{2+3 \sin \theta}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{\sin \theta}{2+3 \sin \theta}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
