MCQ
Length of a simple pendulum is $l$ and its maximum angular displacement is $\theta$, then its maximum $K.E.$ is
  • A
    $mgl\sin \theta $
  • B
    $mgl(1 + \sin \theta )$
  • C
    $mgl(1 + \cos \theta )$
  • $mgl(1 - \cos \theta )$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$mgl(1 - \cos \theta )$
d
(d) Kinetic energy will be maximum at mean position.
From law of conservation of energy maximum kinetic energy at mean position = Potential energy at displaced position
==> ${K_{\max }} = mgh = mgl(1 - \cos \theta )$
