A heavy small-sized sphere is suspended by a string of length $l$. The sphere rotates uniformly in a horizontal circle with the string making an angle $\theta $ with the vertical. Then the time period of this conical pendulum is
  • A$t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $
  • B$t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{l\,\sin \,\theta }}{g}} $
  • C$t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{l\,\cos \,\theta }}{g}} $
  • D$t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{g\,\cos \,\theta }}} $
