Tension in a Pendulum String - Oh my

[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 4527883, member: 487626"] So I have one attempt left and want to make sure my answer is correct, so double checking me would be super awesome! You are given a pendulum composed of a 0.030 kg mass on the end of a 0.42 m long massless string. The pendulum is moved 25° from the vertical and released. Find the tension in the string when the mass is at the release point, θ = 25°. Tsin(65)-mg=0 Tsin(65)=mg T=.32 N This is one solution I came up with. The other option I am unsure of is if the T force would be 0 because "there is no net force directed along the axis that is perpendicular to the motion. Since the motion of the object is momentarily paused, there is no need for a centripetal force." -http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/waves/u10l0c.cfm Thanks for the guidance. [/QUOTE]
