5 A particle \(P\) of mass 0.3 kg is attached to one end of a light elastic string of natural length 0.6 m and modulus of elasticity 24 N . The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\). The particle \(P\) is released from rest at the point 0.4 m vertically below \(O\).
- Find the greatest speed of \(P\).
- Calculate the greatest distance of \(P\) below \(O\).

Fig. 1 shows the cross-section of a solid cylinder through which a cylindrical hole has been drilled to make a uniform prism. The radius of the cylinder is \(5 r\) and the radius of the hole is \(r\). The centre of the hole is a distance \(2 r\) from the centre of the cylinder.
