Answer
$\text{F}_\text{AC}=\frac{\text{KQq}}{(\ell+\text{x})^2}$$\text{F}_\text{CA}=\frac{\text{KQq}}{(\ell-\text{x})^2}$
Net force $=\text{KQq}\Big[\frac{1}{(\ell-\text{x})^2}-\frac{1}{(\ell-\text{x})^2}\Big]$
$=\text{KQq}\bigg[\frac{(\ell+\text{x})^2-(\ell-\text{x})^2}{(\ell+\text{x})^2(\ell-\text{x})^2}\bigg]$
$=\text{KQq}\bigg[\frac{4\ell\text{x}}{(\ell^2-\text{x}^2)^2}\bigg]$
$\text{x}<<<\text{l}=\frac{\text{d}}{2}$ neglecting x w.r.t. $\ell$ We get
net $\text{F}=\frac{\text{KQq}4\ell\text{x}}{\ell^4}=\frac{\text{KQq}4\text{x}}{\ell^3}$ acceleration $=\frac{4\text{KQqx}}{\text{m}\ell^3}$
Time period $=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{acceleration}}}$
$=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{\text{xm}\ell^3}{4\text{KQqx}}}$
$=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{\text{m}\ell^3}{4\text{KQq}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2\text{m}\ell^34\pi\in_0}{4\text{Qq}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^3\text{m}\ell^3\in_0}{\text{Qq}}}$
$=\sqrt{4\pi^3\text{md}^3\in_08\text{Qq}}$
$=\bigg[\frac{\pi^3\text{md}^3\in_0}{2\text{Qq}}\bigg]^{\frac{1}{2}}$

A simple pendulum of length $L$ having a bob of mass m is deflected from its rest position by an angle $\theta$ and released $($figure$)$. The string hits a peg which is fixed at a distance $x$ below the point of suspension and the bob starts going in a circle centred at the peg.
→- Assuming that initially the bob has a height less than the peg, show that the maximum height reached by the bob equals its initial height.
- If the pendulum is released with $\theta=90^\circ$ and $\text{x}=\frac{\text{L}}{2}$ find the maximum height reached by the bob above its lowest position before the string becomes slack.
- Find the minimum value of $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{L}}$ for which the bob goes in a complete circle about the peg when the pendulum is released from $\theta=90^\circ.$
