1.ans:  No the tension in the string of a simple pendulum is not constant throughout the motion                                     

v is velocity of the bob and theta is the angle made by the string with vertical axis.

as v and θ both are variable T is also variable.

T is maximum at mean position as at mean position v is max and the angle is minimum.

2.ans: If the amplitude of the simple...

BODMAS=Bracket, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. In certain regions, PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction) is the synonym of BODMAS. It explains the order of operations to solve an expression.

This picture develops a clear understanding.

The order of magnitude of a physical quantity is its magnitude in powers of ten when the physical quantity is expressed in powers of ten with one digit to the left of the decimal.

Orders of magnitude are generally used to make very approximate comparisons and reflect very large differences.
