A small sphere is suspended by a string from the ceiling of a car. If the car beings to move with a constant acceleration a, the inclination of the string to the vertical is:

A

`tan^(-1)(a//g)` in the direction of motion

B

`tan^(-1)(a//g)` opposite to the direction of motion

C

`tan^(-1)(g//a)` in the direction of motion

D

`tan^(-1)(g//a)` opposite to the direction of motion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`tan theta=(a)/(g)`
