A small sphere of mass 'm' is attached to an inextensible
cord
of length 2a, which passes around the fixed peg A
and is attached to
fixed support at O. The sphere is
held close to the support at O and released with no
initial velocity. It drops freely to point C, where
the cord becomes taut and swings in a vertical plane
the first about A and then about O. Determine the
vertical distance from line OD to the highest point C" that the sphere will reach.
