A string of a pendulum of length \(l\) is displaced through \(90^{\circ}\) from its vertical and released. Then, the minimum streng th of the string needed to withstand the tension as, the pendulum passes through its mean position is

  1. A \(m g\)
  2. B \(3 m g\)
  3. C \(5 \mathrm{mg}\)
  4. D \(6 m g\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 m g\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Length of penduIum \(=l\) Centre of gravity of pendulum's string \(=\frac{l}{2}\) When pendulum is displaced through \(90^{\circ}\) and released, then according to law of conservation of energy. Gravitational potential energy \(=\) Kinetic energy…
