A simple pendulum having a bob of mass m isended from the ceiling of a car used in asuspstunt film shooting. The car moves up alongan inclined cliff at a speed v and makes a jumpto leave the cliff and lands at some distance.Let R be the maximum height of the car fromthe top of the cliff. The tension in the stringwhen the car is in air is
