The maximum tension in the string of a p...

The maximum tension in the string of a pendulum is two times the minimum tension. Let `theta_(0)` is then what is angular amplitude

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D

The tension in the pendulum is maximum at the mea position and minimum on th extreme postion.
`Here `1/2mv^2-0=mgl(1-costheta)`
`v^2=2gl(1-costheta)` ……….1
`-Now, T_(ma)=mg+2mg(1-costheta)`
`[T=mg+(mv^2/l)]`
`Again T_(min)=mgcostheta`
According to question
`T_(max)=2Tmin`
`rarr mg+2mg-2mgcostheta=2mgcostheta`
`rarr 3mg=4mgcostheta`
`costheta=3/4`
`rarr thetas=cos^-1 3/4`
