$A$ ball is suspended on a thread from the ceiling of a car. The brakes are applied and the speed of the car changes from $5 \, m/s$ to $5/3 \, m/s$ during a time interval of $3 \, s$. Find the angle $\theta$ that the thread will deviate from the vertical.

  • A
    $\theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{9} \right)$
  • B
    $\theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{8}{9} \right)$
  • C
    $\theta = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{9} \right)$
  • D
    $\theta = \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{9} \right)$
