A stone tied to a string of length L is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed u. The magnitude of the change in its velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal is:

(1) $\sqrt{u^2-2gL}$

(2) $\sqrt{2gL}$

(3) $\sqrt{u^2-gl}$

(4) $\sqrt{2(u^2-gL)}$
