$A$ 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}} $
