One end of a light inextensible string of length \(\frac { 3 } { 2 } a\) is attached to a fixed point \(O\) on a horizontal surface. The other end of the string is attached to a particle \(P\) of mass \(m\). The string passes over a small fixed smooth peg \(A\) which is at a distance \(a\) vertically above \(O\). The system is in equilibrium with \(P\) hanging vertically below \(A\) and the string taut. The particle is projected horizontally with speed \(u\) (see diagram). When \(P\) is at the same horizontal level as \(A\), the tension in the string is \(T\). Show that \(T = \frac { 2 m } { a } \left( u ^ { 2 } - a g \right)\). The ratio of the tensions in the string immediately before, and immediately after, the string loses contact with the peg is \(5 : 1\).

1. Show that \(u ^ { 2 } = 5 a g\).
2. Find, in terms of \(m\) and \(g\), the tension in the string when \(P\) is next at the same horizontal level as \(A\).
