$A$ body is projected with a speed $u$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The radius of curvature of the trajectory,when it makes an angle $\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$ with the horizontal is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta \sec ^3\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{\sqrt{3} g}$
  • B
    $\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta \sec ^3\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{2 g}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 u^2 \cos ^3 \theta \sec ^2\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{g}$
  • D
    $\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta \sec ^3\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{g}$
