A simple pendulum of length ' \(\ell\) ' has a bob of mass 'm'. It executes S.H.M. of small amplitude 'A'. The maximum tension in the string is
\((\mathrm{g}=\) acceleration due to gravity)

(D)
\(\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{A} \sin \omega \mathrm{t} \\
\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{g}}} \\
\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\ell}}=\omega
\end{array}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
\therefore \text { Tension } &=m g \cos \theta+\frac{m v^{2}}{L} \\
T_{\max } &=m g+\frac{m v^{2}}{L} \quad \cos \theta=1 \\
&=m g\left(1+\frac{v^{2}}{g L}\right)
\end{aligned}\)
Now, \(y=A \sin \omega t\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{A} \omega \cos \omega \mathrm{t} \\ &\left.\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right|_{\max }=\mathrm{A} \omega=\mathrm{A} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\ell}}=\mathrm{V}_{\max } \\ \therefore & \mathrm{V}_{\max }^{2}=\mathrm{A}^{2} \frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{L}} \\ \therefore & \mathrm{T}_{\max }=\mathrm{mg}\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{A}^{2} \mathrm{~g}}{\mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~g}}\right)=\mathrm{mg}\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{A}^{2}}{\mathrm{~L}^{2}}\right) \end{aligned}\)
