Question

The bob of a simple pendulum at the rest position is given a velocity V in the horizontal direction so that the bob describes a vertical circle of radius equal to the length of the pendulum L. If the tension in the string is 4 times the weight of the bob when the string is horizontal, what is the velocity of the bob?
