1 A light elastic string has modulus of elasticity 5 N and natural length 1.5 m . One end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\) and a particle \(P\) of mass 0.1 kg is attached to the other end of the string. \(P\) is released from rest at the point 2.4 m vertically below \(O\). Calculate the speed of \(P\) at the instant the string first becomes slack.
