The angular amplitude of a simple pendulum is . The maximum tension in its string will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The simple pendulum at angular amplitude is shown in the figure.
When, bob of pendulum comes from to , it covers a vertical distance .
Also during to , potential energy of bob converts into kinetic energy
Thus, using Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii) we obtain
=m g+2 m g\left[1-1+\frac{\theta_0{ }^2}{2}\right]=m g\left(1+\theta_0^2\right)
