Homework Statement
What is the tension in a pendulum? Is T=mgcos(theta) or is T=mg/(cos(theta)) ?
and is the x component of tension is mgsin(theta) and this is the restoring force?
Homework Equations
Fnet=ma
Fg=mg
The Attempt at a Solution
Maybe it depends on the problem given? But I am confused how to know which tension to use
