A particle of mass is attached to a fixed point by a light, inelastic string of length Initially, the particle is projected horizontally with speed just small enough to ensure that the string does not break when it is projected. On becoming horizontal, the string comes in contact with a fixed horizontal peg at a distance of from and the particle begins to rotate about
Find the minimum horizontal speed of for which the string breaks after contact with the peg.
