$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $L$. It is imparted a minimum horizontal velocity at the lowest point $A$ such that it just completes a full vertical circle,reaching the topmost position $B$. The ratio of kinetic energies $\frac{(\text{K.E.})_A}{(\text{K.E.})_B}$ is:

Concrete mixture is made by mixing cement,stone,and sand in a rotating cylindrical drum. If the drum rotates too fast,the ingredients remain stuck to the wall of the drum and proper mixing of ingredients does not take place. The maximum rotational speed of the drum in revolutions per minute (rpm) to ensure proper mixing is close to (Take the radius of the drum to be $1.25\, m$ and its axle to be horizontal).

The mass of the $bob$ of a simple pendulum of length $L$ is $m$. If the $bob$ is released from its horizontal position,then the speed of the $bob$ and the tension in the thread at the lowest position of the $bob$ will be respectively:
