Tension of the string when the string reaches the mid point
T=Tm
Tm=mg+lmv2
Applying energy balance
21mv2=mgl(1−cosθ)
v2=2gl(1−cosθ)
v2=2gl(2sin22θ)
Substituting the value of v2 in above equation
Tm=mg+2mgll(2sin22θ)
Tm=mg+4mg(sin22θ)
Tm=mg(1+4sin22θ)
for small θ, sinθ≈θ
Tm=mg(1+4(2θ)2)
Tm=mg(1+θ2)
The tension of the string is maximum at extreme positions
