The string of pendulum of length $l$ is displaced through ${90^o}$ from the vertical and released. Then the minimum strength of the string in order to withstand the tension, as the pendulum passes through the mean position is

$T = mg + \frac{{m{v^2}}}{l}$ $ = mg + 2mg = 3mg$

where $v = \sqrt {2gl} $ from $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = mgl$
