6. One end of a light inextensible string of length \(l\) is attached to a fixed point \(A\). The other end is attached to a particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) which is hanging freely at rest at point \(B\). The particle \(P\) is projected horizontally from \(B\) with speed \(\sqrt { } ( 3 g l )\). When \(A P\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the downward vertical and the string remains taut, the tension in the string is \(T\).

1. Show that \(T = m g ( 1 + 3 \cos \theta )\).
2. Find the speed of \(P\) at the instant when the string becomes slack.
3. Find the maximum height above the level of \(B\) reached by \(P\).
