$A$ simple pendulum is released from rest at the horizontally stretched position. When the string makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical,the angle $\phi$ which the acceleration vector of the bob makes with the string is given by

$A$ coin is placed on a horizontal plate. The plate performs $S.H.M.$ vertically with an angular frequency $\omega$. The amplitude $A$ of oscillations is gradually increased. The coin will lose contact with the plate for the first time when the amplitude is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

The bob of a simple pendulum is displaced from its equilibrium position $O$ to a position $Q$ which is at height $h$ above $O$ and the bob is then released. Assuming the mass of the bob to be $m$ and the time period of oscillations to be $2.0 \, s$,the tension in the string when the bob passes through $O$ is
