3 A particle \(P\) travels from a point \(O\) along a straight line and comes to instantaneous rest at a point \(A\). The velocity of \(P\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after leaving \(O\) is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), where \(v = 0.027 \left( 10 t ^ { 2 } - t ^ { 3 } \right)\). Find
  1. the distance \(O A\),
  2. the maximum velocity of \(P\) while moving from \(O\) to \(A\).
