6 Two particles, \(A\) and \(B\), are connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth peg. Particle \(A\) has mass 2 kg and particle \(B\) has mass 4 kg . Particle \(A\) hangs freely with the string vertical. Particle \(B\) is at rest in equilibrium on a rough horizontal surface with the string at an angle of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the vertical. The particles, peg and string are shown in the diagram.

- By considering particle \(A\), find the tension in the string.
- Draw a diagram to show the forces acting on particle \(B\).
- Show that the magnitude of the normal reaction force acting on particle \(B\) is 22.2 newtons, correct to three significant figures.
- Find the least possible value of the coefficient of friction between particle \(B\) and the surface.
