QUESTION:

A small sphere B of mass m is attached to an inextensible cord of length 2a, which passes around the fixed peg A and is attached to a 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, first about A and then about O. Determine the vertical distance from line OD to the highest point \(C^{\prime \prime}\) that the sphere will reach.
