The string of a pendulum of length $l$ is displaced through $90^o$ from the vertical and released. Then, the minimum strength of the string in order to withstand the tension as the pendulum passes through the mean position is
A
$mg$
B
$3\,mg$
C
$5\,mg$
D
$6\,mg$
Solution
$\mathrm{T}-\mathrm{mg}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}$
$\mathrm{T}-\mathrm{mg}=\frac{\mathrm{m} \times(\sqrt{2 \mathrm{gR}})^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}$
$\mathrm{T}-\mathrm{mg}=\frac{2 \mathrm{mg} \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{R}}$
$\mathrm{T}=3 \mathrm{mg}$
