Tension in a Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum of length L and mass m is released from rest at an angle of from the vertical. At what angle , measured from the vertical, is the tension in the string equal to 1.5mg?
A
θ = 62° (where cos θ = 0.4696, by formula)
B
θ = 5° (halfway to the lowest point)
C
θ = 10° (at the release point)
D
θ = 0° (at the lowest point)
