$A$ simple pendulum of time period $1\,s$ and length $l$ is hung from a fixed support at $O$. The bob is at a distance $H$ vertically above $A$ on the ground. The amplitude is $\theta_0$. The string snaps at $\theta = \frac{\theta_0}{2}$. Find the time taken by the bob to hit the ground and the distance from $A$ where the bob hits the ground. Assume $\theta_0$ to be small,so that $\sin \theta_0 \approx \theta_0$ and $\cos \theta_0 \approx 1$.
