2 A particle \(P\) of mass 5.6 kg is attached to one end of a light rod of length 2.1 m . The other end of the rod is freely hinged to a fixed point \(O\). The particle is initially at rest directly below \(O\). It is then projected horizontally with speed \(5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). In the subsequent motion, the angle between the rod and the downward vertical at \(O\) is denoted by \(\theta\) radians, as shown in the diagram.

1. Find the speed of \(P\) when \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi\).
2. Find the value of \(\theta\) when \(P\) first comes to instantaneous rest. A particle of mass \(m\) moves in a straight line with constant acceleration \(a\). Its initial and final velocities are \(u\) and \(v\) respectively and its final displacement from its starting position is \(s\). In order to model the motion of the particle it is suggested that the velocity is given by the equation
   \(v ^ { 2 } = p u ^ { \alpha } + q a ^ { \beta } s ^ { \gamma }\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are dimensionless constants.
3. Explain why \(\alpha\) must equal 2 for the equation to be dimensionally consistent.
4. By using dimensional analysis, determine the values of \(\beta\) and \(\gamma\).
5. By considering the case where \(s = 0\), determine the value of \(p\).
6. By multiplying both sides of the equation by \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } m\), and using the numerical values of \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\), determine the value of \(q\).
