The angular amplitude of a simple pendulum is θ0\theta_0. The maximum tension in its string will beThe angular amplitude of a simple pendulum is θ_0 . The maximum tension in its string will be

Options

  1. Amg(1−θ0)m g\left(1-\theta_0\right)
  2. Bmg(1+θ0)m g\left(1+\theta_0\right)
  3. Cmg(1−θ02)m g\left(1-\theta_0^2\right)
  4. Dmg(1+θ02)m g\left(1+\theta_0^2\right)

Correct answer

D. mg(1+θ02)m g\left(1+\theta_0^2\right)

Step-by-step solution

The simple pendulum at angular amplitude θ0\theta_0 is shown in the figure. Tmax⁡=mg+mv2I…(i)T_{\max }=m g+\frac{m v^2}{I} \quad \ldots(i) When, bob of pendulum comes from AA to BB, it covers a vertical distance hh. The angular amplitude of a simple pendulum is θ_0 . The maximum tension in its string will be ∴cos⁡θ0=l−hl\therefore \quad \cos \theta_0=\frac{l-h}{l} ⇒h=I(I−cos⁡θ)…(ii)\Rightarrow \quad h=I(I⁻\cos \theta)\ldots(ii) Also during AA to BB, potential energy of bob converts into kinetic energy ∴mgh=12mv2∴v=2gh…(iii)\therefore \quad m g h=\frac{1}{2} m v^2 \therefore \quad v=\sqrt{2 g h} \quad \ldots(iii) Thus, using Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii) we obtain Tmax⁡=mg+2mgII(1−cos⁡θ0)T_{\max }=m g+\frac{2 m g}{I} I\left(1-\cos \theta_0\right)=m g+2 m g\left[1-1+\frac{\theta_0{ }^2}{2}\right](Byusingbinomialtheorem)(By using binomial theorem)=m g\left(1+\theta_0^2\right)
