Questions  

A pendulum is oscillating in a vertical plane. The acceleration at the extreme position and lowest position are equal. Then the angular amplitude of the pendulum is

a
tan−12
b
tan−12
c
tan−11/2
d
2tan−112

detailed solution

Correct option is D

acceleration at the extreme position gsinθ  and lowest position v2l . gsinθ=v2l From conservation of energy  12mv2=mgl1−cosθmv2l=2mg1−cosθgsinθ=2g1−cosθsinθ=4sin2θ22sinθ2cosθ2=4sin2θ2tanθ2=12θ2=tan−112θ=2tan−112
