- A simple pendulum of length L and mass m swings about the vertical
equilibrium position (θ = 0) with a maximum angular displacement of θmax.
What is the tension in the connecting rod when the pendulum’s angular
displacement is θ = θmax?
(A) mg sinθmax
(B) mg cosθmax
(C) mgL sinθmax
(D) mgL cosθmax
(E) mgL(1 − cosθmax)
