The tension of an osciallting pendukun is derived as :

…...(1)
Here, theta is the angle made by pendulum with vertical line drawn through pivot. So at 90 degrees or the pendulum is horizonatl, the first term is zero, and when 0 degress or the pendulum is vertical, the first term is zero or in other words the tension is maxium. Between 0 and 90 degrees the tension changes and varies from max tension to minimum tension.
So at 90 degrees, the tension is,
At 0 degrees,
To derive the equation (1), watch the youtube video by ashish arora for tension of a swinging pendulum under physics under circular motion.
