$A$ uniform chain of length $2L$ is hanging in equilibrium over a small,smooth pulley. If end $B$ is given a slightly downward displacement $x$,the imbalance causes an acceleration. The acceleration of the chain when it has been displaced by distance $x$ is:

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