$A$ small sphere of radius $r$ is placed on a concave surface of radius of curvature $R$ a little away from the center. When the sphere is released, it oscillates. Assuming the oscillation to be simple harmonic motion and $r << R$, then the time period is

  • A
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$
  • B
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{3 R}{2 g}}$
  • C
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2 R}{3 g}}$
  • D
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{2 g}}$
