The bob of a pendulum of mass m and length L is displaced 90 ° from the vertical and gently released. In order that the string may not break upon passing through the lowest point, its minimum strength must be
Options
- Am g
- B2   m g
- C3   m g
- D4   m g
Correct answer
C. 3   m g
Step-by-step solution
If v is velocity of the bob on reaching the lowest point, then 1 2 m v 2 = m g L To avoid breaking, strength of the string T L = m v 2 L + m g = 2 m g L L + m g = 3 m g
