  1. Show that \(v ^ { 2 } = 9 + 9.8 \sin \theta\).
  2. Find, in terms of \(\theta\), the radial and tangential components of the acceleration of \(P\).
  3. Show that the tension in the string is \(( 3.6 + 5.88 \sin \theta ) \mathrm { N }\) and hence find the value of \(\theta\) at the instant when the string becomes slack, giving your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
