The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point. The particle moves with constant speed in a horizontal circle. The magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is \(7 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). The string makes an angle of \(\theta ^ { \circ }\) with the downward vertical, as shown in the diagram. Find
  1. the value of \(\theta\) to the nearest whole number,
  2. the tension in the string,
  3. the speed of the particle.
