6 A light inextensible string, of length \(a\), has one end attached to a fixed point \(O\). A small bead, of mass \(m\), is attached to the other end of the string. The bead is moving in a vertical circle, centre \(O\). When the bead is at \(B\), vertically below \(O\), the string is taut and the bead is moving with speed \(5 v\).

- The speed of the bead at the highest point of its path is \(3 v\).
Find \(v\) in terms of \(a\) and \(g\).
- Find the ratio of the greatest tension to the least tension in the string, as the bead travels around its circular path.
