A particle \(P\) of mass \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) is attached to the mid-point of a light elastic string of natural length 0.8 m and modulus of elasticity 8 N . One end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(A\) and the other end is attached to a fixed point \(B\) which is 2 m vertically below \(A\). When the particle is in equilibrium the distance \(A P\) is 1.1 m (see diagram). Find the value of \(m\).
