Kinetic energy will be maximum at mean position from law of conservation of energy maximum kinetic energy at mean position  = potential energy at displaced position.

\Rightarrow k_{max} = mgh = mgL(1-\cos\theta)

 

Time period of oscillation of simple pendulum -

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

- wherein

l = length of pendulum 

g = acceleration due to gravity.
