6 A particle is projected with speed \(15 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of \(\theta ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal. At the instant 4 s after projection the speed of the particle is \(30 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find \(\theta\).
- Show that at the instant 4 s after projection the particle is 33.75 m below the level of the point of projection and find the direction of motion at this instant.

Fig. 1 shows an object made from a uniform wire of length 0.8 m . The object consists of a straight part \(A B\), and a semicircular part \(B C\) such that \(A , B\) and \(C\) lie in the same straight line. The radius of the semicircle is \(r \mathrm {~m}\) and the centre of mass of the object is 0.1 m from line \(A B C\). - Show that \(r = 0.2\).

The object is freely suspended at \(A\) and a horizontal force of magnitude 7 N is applied to the object at \(C\) so that the object is in equilibrium with \(A B C\) vertical (see Fig. 2). - Calculate the weight of the object.
The 7 N force is removed and the object hangs in equilibrium with \(A B C\) at an angle of \(\theta ^ { \circ }\) with the vertical. - Find \(\theta\).
