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...

SinceECu2+/CuECu2+/Cuhas a greater positive value thanEH+/HEH+/H, the reaction that is feasible at the cathode is

Cu2+(aq)+2eCu(s)

zinc will react with sulphuric acid forming zinc sulphate dissolved in solution and releasing hydrogen gas.
Zn + conc. 2 H2SO4 ZnSO4 + SO2 + 2 H2O
