A pendulum consisting of a string of length L attached to a bob of mass m swings

Question:

A pendulum consisting of a string of length L attached to a bob of mass m swings in a vertical plane. When the string is at an angle θ to the vertical, 

(a) What is the tangential component of acceleration of the bob? 

(b) What is the torque exerted about the pivot point? 

(c) Show that τ = Iα with at = Lα gives the same tangential acceleration as found in part (a).
