Question

A simple pendulum of length L has a point mass M released from rest from the horizontal position shown. In the absence of air resistance and friction, the mass swings through the arc of a circle. Let T represent the magnitude of the force from the string on the mass (tension), G represent the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the mass by the earth, and F represent the magnitude of the net force acting on the mass. Which one of the following choices describes the relationship among these forces when the mass swings at the bottom of the arc (point P)?

a. G<F<T

b. F<G<T

c. T<F<G
