A bog of mass m = 50 gm is oscillating with the help of a string, the maximum value of angle from the vertical attained by the bog is 60^o .The tension in the string at extreme position is

In the given problem at the extreme position, the tension in the string and the weight mg balance each other. But weight mg is resolved into mgcostheta and hence T = mgcostheta = (50 × 10^-3 ) × (10) × 1/2 = 0.25 N
