3 A light inextensible string has length \(2 a\). One end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\) and a particle of mass \(m\) is attached to the other end. Initially, the particle is held at the point \(A\) with the string taut and horizontal. The particle is then released from rest and moves in a circular path. Subsequently, it passes through the point \(B\), which is directly below \(O\). The points \(O , A\) and \(B\) are as shown in the diagram.

- Show that the speed of the particle at \(B\) is \(2 \sqrt { a g }\).
- Find the tension in the string as the particle passes through \(B\). Give your answer in terms of \(m\) and \(g\).
