A spherical bob hangs from a light inextensible string and moves in a horizontal circle with string making angle $θ$ with the vertical. The length $l$ of the string is then very slowly increased so that the motion is circular at all times to a good approximation. If $h$ is the height from center of the circle to the pivot and $r$ is the radius of the circle then $h \propto r^{a}$ . The value of $a$ is
