Oct 31, 2016 at 21:17 comment added bleuofblue Think a little bit more about how the bob will accelerate. If gravity was the only force accelerating the bob, what is causing it to move horizontally at all? What you need to discern is the net acceleration from both gravity, and the string pulling it back.

Oct 31, 2016 at 20:03 comment added bleuofblue A pendulum fixed at a point will undergo rotational motion. Is the acceleration the bob experiences really only that of $g = -9.81\frac{m}{s^2}$?
