$A$ simple pendulum of length $L$ swings in a vertical plane. The tension in the string when it makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical and the bob of mass $m$ moves with a speed $v$ is (where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration):

  • A
    $m v^{2} / L$
  • B
    $m g \cos \theta + m v^{2} / L$
  • C
    $m g \cos \theta - m v^{2} / L$
  • D
    $m g \cos \theta$
