A simple pendulum with a bob of mass $‘m’$ oscillates from $A$ to $ C$ and back to $A$ such that $PB$ is $H.$ If the acceleration due to gravity is $‘g’$, then the velocity of the bob as it passes through $B$ is

(b) At $B$, the velocity is maximum using conservation of mechanical energy

$\Delta PE = \Delta KE$

==> $mgH = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$

==> $v = \sqrt {2gH} $
