The diagram shows the vertical cross-section \(O A B\) of a slide. The straight line \(A B\) is tangential to the curve \(O A\) at \(A\). The line \(A B\) is inclined at \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \alpha = 0.28\). The point \(O\) is 10 m higher than \(B\), and \(A B\) has length 10 m (see diagram). The part of the slide containing the curve \(O A\) is smooth and the part containing \(A B\) is rough. A particle \(P\) of mass 2 kg is released from rest at \(O\) and moves down the slide.
- Find the speed of \(P\) when it passes through \(A\).
The coefficient of friction between \(P\) and the part of the slide containing \(A B\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 12 }\). Find
- the acceleration of \(P\) when it is moving from \(A\) to \(B\),
- the speed of \(P\) when it reaches \(B\).
