  1. Assuming that the particle reaches \(B\) with a speed of \(8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and that there are no resistances to motion, find the height of \(A\) above \(B\).
  2. Assuming instead that the particle reaches \(B\) with a speed of \(6 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and that the height of \(A\) above \(B\) is 4 m , find the work done against the resistances to motion.
