6 A light elastic string has natural length 2 m and modulus of elasticity 0.8 N . One end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\) of a rough plane which is inclined at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \alpha = \frac { 12 } { 13 }\). A particle \(P\) of mass 0.052 kg is attached to the other end of the string. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is 0.4 . \(P\) is released from rest at \(O\).

1. When \(P\) has moved \(d\) metres down the plane from \(O\), where \(d > 2\), find expressions in terms of \(d\) for
   (a) the loss in gravitational potential energy of \(P\),
   (b) the gain in elastic potential energy of the string,
   (c) the work done by the frictional force acting on \(P\).
2. Show that \(d ^ { 2 } - 6 d + 4 = 0\) when \(P\) is at its lowest point, and hence find the value of \(d\) in this case.
