$A$ bob of a simple pendulum has mass $m$ and is oscillating with an amplitude $a$. If the length of the pendulum is $L$,then the maximum tension in the string is (given $\cos 0^{\circ}=1, g=$ acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $mg\left[1+\left(\frac{a}{L}\right)^{2}\right]$
  • B
    $mg\left[1-\left(\frac{a}{L}\right)^{2}\right]$
  • C
    $mg\left[1+\left(\frac{L}{a}\right)^{2}\right]$
  • D
    $mg\left[1-\left(\frac{L}{a}\right)^{2}\right]$
