    Tension in a string simple pendulum

    Yes. That is my assumption. I have a feeling it may not be valid. Is tension equal to the weight at the point of rest?

    Total Current in RLC Parallel Circuit

    Thanks for your help. I mislead you about the diagram. The inductor, capacitor and resistor are all in parallel with the supply voltage at the bottom of the circuit. Does this clarify matters? I apologize for not presenting a diagram.
