A simple pendulum is attached to a block which slides without friction down an inclined plane $A B C$ having an angle of inclination $\alpha$ as shown below. While the block is sliding down the pendulum oscillates in such a way that at its mean position the direction of the string is
  • Aat angle $\alpha$ to the perpendicular to the inclined plane $A C$
  • Bparallel to the inclined plane $A C$
  • C
    vertically downwards
  • Dperpendicular to the inclined plane $A C$
