The string of a pendulum of length l is displaced through 90o 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
3 mg
b
4 mg
c
5 mg
d
6 mg

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The velocity at the lowest point is given by v=(2gr)Further,   T−mg=mv2r∴ T=mg+mv2r=mg+m(2gr)r=mg+2mg=3mg
