\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a hemispherical bowl of internal radius \(10 d\) that is fixed with its circular rim horizontal. The centre of the circular rim is at the point \(O\).
A particle \(P\) moves with constant angular speed on the smooth inner surface of the bowl. The particle \(P\) moves in a horizontal circle with radius \(8 d\) and centre \(C\).
  1. Find, in terms of \(g\), the exact magnitude of the acceleration of \(P\). The time for \(P\) to complete one revolution is \(T\).
  2. Find \(T\) in terms of \(d\) and \(g\).
