(1/2)mu² = (1/2)mv² + mgl (1-cosθ)
⇒ v² = u² - 2gl (1-cosθ)
⇒ v² = 3² - 2*10*0.5* (1 - 1/2)
⇒ v² = 9 - 5 = 4
v = 2m/s

A simple pendulum shows simple harmonic motion only for small angular displacements. Otherwise, its motion is oscillatory but not purely SHM.

Tension in the string and gravitational force are common forces. These forces are resolved into tangential and radial components.

For small displacements, sinθ≈θ (in radians), the small-angle approximation simplifies pendulum motion equations and makes it to approximate simple harmonic motion.
