5 Two light inextensible strings, of lengths 0.4 m and 0.2 m , each have one end attached to a particle, \(P\), of mass 4 kg . The other ends of the strings are attached to the points \(A\) and \(B\) respectively. The point \(A\) is vertically above the point \(B\). The particle moves in a horizontal circle, centre \(B\) and radius 0.2 m , at a speed of \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The particle and strings are shown in the diagram.

- Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle.
- Show that the tension in string \(P A\) is 45.3 N , correct to three significant figures.
- Find the tension in string \(P B\).
