A constant horizontal force F = mg starts acting on a suspended pendulum bob of mass m, initially at rest. Tension is maximum when the angular deflection of the string in degrees is:
:
The answer is 45.

for the angular deflection it could be explained in its slope where the maximum tensional force is m = tanA where A = 45
