Length of a simple pendulum is $l$ and its maximum angular displacement is $\theta$, then its maximum $K.E.$ is

A

$mgl\sin \theta $

B

$mgl(1 + \sin \theta )$

C

$mgl(1 + \cos \theta )$

D

$mgl(1 - \cos \theta )$

Solution

(d) Kinetic energy will be maximum at mean position.
From law of conservation of energy maximum kinetic energy at mean position = Potential energy at displaced position
==> ${K_{\max }} = mgh = mgl(1 – \cos \theta )$
