A simple pendulum oscillates with an angular amplitude \(\theta\). If the maximum tension in the string is 4 times the minimum tension then the value of \(\theta\) is

  1. A \(\cos ^{-1}(0 \cdot 75)\)
  2. B \(\cos ^{-1}(0 \cdot 5)\)
  3. C \(\sin ^{-1}(0 \cdot 5)\)
  4. D \(\sin ^{-1}(0 \cdot 75)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\cos ^{-1}(0 \cdot 5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T_{max} = mg(3 - 2\cos\theta)\) \(T_{min} = mg\cos\theta\)
