A solid bob of a material having density twice that of water is suspended with a massless and inextensible string of length $L$. The whole set-up is placed inside a water-filled tank. The bob is imparted a horizontal velocity $V_0$ at the lowest point A , while the other end of the string is fixed, such that the bob completes a semi-circular trajectory in the vertical plane. The string becomes slack only when the bob reaches the topmost point C. Assume that the effects of viscosity and water currents are negligible. The acceleration due to gravity is $g$. What is the expression for $V_0$ ?
