7 One end of a light elastic string of natural length 0.4 m and modulus of elasticity 20 N is attached to a particle \(P\) of mass 0.8 kg . The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\) at the top of a smooth plane inclined at \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. The particle rests in equilibrium on the plane.

1. Calculate the extension of the string.
   \(P\) is projected from its equilibrium position up the plane along a line of greatest slope. In the subsequent motion \(P\) just reaches \(O\), and later just reaches the foot of the plane. Calculate
2. the speed of projection of \(P\),
3. the length of the line of greatest slope of the plane.
