At the releasing point acceleration will be gsinθ, for calculating we can use the concept that,
\(\tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{1/4\sqrt{3}}{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}\)
since, if \(y=1/4\sqrt{3}, \Rightarrow x=1/2\)
therefore, \(\sin \theta =p/h=1/\sqrt{13}\)
we get the value of acceleration as,
\(a=g\times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{13}}=2.78 m/s^2\)
