The bob of a pendulum of length $l$ is pulled aside from its equilibrium position through an angle $\theta$ and then released. The bob will then pass through its equilibrium position with speed $v$,where $v$ equals

  • A
    $\sqrt{2gl \sin \theta}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2gl(1 - \sin \theta)}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2gl(1 - \cos \theta)}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2gl(1 + \sin \theta)}$
