$A$ light rigid wire of length $1 \,m$ is attached to a ball of mass $500 \,g$ at one end. The other end of the wire is fixed, so that the wire can rotate freely in the vertical plane about its fixed end. At the lowest point of the circular motion, the ball is given a horizontal velocity of $6 \,m/s$. Determine the radial component of the acceleration of the ball when this rigid wire makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the upward vertical. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m/s^2$)

  • A
    $10$
  • B

  • C
    $18$
