    Let θ denote the angular displacement of a simple pendulum oscillating in a vertical plane. If the mass of the bob is m, the tension is the string is mg cos θ
    (a) always
    (b) never
    (c) at the extreme positions
    (d) at the mean position.
    digAnsr:   c
    Ans : (c) at the extreme positions
    Tension is the string, `` T=\frac{m{v}^{2}}{r}-mg\,\mathrm{\,cos \,}\theta ``
    When v = 0, `` \left|T\right|=mg\,\mathrm{\,cos \,}\theta ``
    That is, at the extreme positions, the tension is the string is mgcosθ.
