$A$ heavy mass is attached to a thin wire and is whirled in a vertical circle. The wire is most likely to break:

  • A
    When the mass is at the highest point of the circle
  • B
    When the mass is at the lowest point of the circle
  • C
    When the wire is horizontal
  • D
    At an angle of $\cos^{-1}(1/3)$ from the upward vertical
