2 A particle, of mass 2 kg , is attached to one end of a light inextensible string. The other end is fixed to the point \(O\). The particle is set into motion, so that it describes a horizontal circle of radius 0.6 metres, with the string at an angle of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the vertical. The centre of the circle is vertically below \(O\).

1. Show that the tension in the string is 22.6 N , correct to three significant figures.
2. Find the speed of the particle.
