Dear pallavi

when pendulam is reliesed them decrese in potential energy will increase the kinetic energy

energy balance

 mg(l/2)  = mv2/2

 v2= gl ..........1

now at lower most position centrifugal force as well as weight both acting in downward direction which is balance by tension in string

so T = mg + mv2/(l/2)

       = mg + 2mg

         =3mg

        

Please feel free to post as many doubts on our discussion forum as you can.

Enter your answer here...Velocity at lowest point v= root2gl......(1) At the lowest point the tension in the string T=mg+mv2/l........ (2) put eq.1 in 2 T=mg+m2gl/l = 3mg

2 stone projected with the same speed but the different but making different angle with horizontal their original drainage equal the angle of projection of 1 is 5 by 3 and the maximum height reached by it is 0.2 the maximum height reached by the other is meta

a simple pendulum of mass 2200 gram and length is length 1m is turn 8 to 60 degree and then release event pendulum makes an angle of 30 degree with the mean position its kinetic and potential velocity is
