\(O A B C\) is a vertical cross-section of a smooth surface. The straight part \(O A\) has length 2.4 m and makes an angle of \(50 ^ { \circ }\) with the horizontal. \(A\) and \(C\) are at the same horizontal level and \(B\) is the lowest point of the cross-section (see diagram). A particle \(P\) of mass 0.8 kg is released from rest at \(O\) and moves on the surface. \(P\) remains in contact with the surface until it leaves the surface at \(C\). Find
- the kinetic energy of \(P\) at \(A\),
- the speed of \(P\) at \(C\).
The greatest speed of \(P\) is \(8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find the depth of \(B\) below the horizontal through \(A\) and \(C\).
