A simple pendulum of length $L$ and mass (bob) $M$ is oscillating in a plane about a vertical line between angular limits $ - \varphi $ and $ + \varphi $. For an angular displacement $\theta (|\theta | < \varphi )$, the tension in the string and the velocity of the bob are $T$ and $ v$ respectively. The following relations hold good under the above conditions
