4 A particle \(P\) of mass 0.2 kg lies at rest on a rough horizontal plane. A horizontal force of 1.2 N is applied to \(P\).
  1. Given that \(P\) is in limiting equilibrium, find the coefficient of friction between \(P\) and the plane.
  2. Given instead that the coefficient of friction between \(P\) and the plane is 0.3 , find the distance travelled by \(P\) in the third second of its motion.
