$A$ point mass '$m$' attached at one end of a massless,inextensible string of length '$\ell$' performs a vertical circular motion and the string rotates in a vertical plane,as shown in the diagram. The increase in the centripetal acceleration of the point mass when it moves from point $A$ to point $C$ is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$:

  • A
    $3g$
  • B
    $2g$
  • C
    $g$
  • D
    $\frac{g}{2}$
