2. (a) Show that the equation
$$8 \cos \theta = 3 \operatorname { cosec } \theta$$
can be written in the form
$$\sin 2 \theta = k$$
where \(k\) is a constant to be found.
(b) Hence find the smallest positive solution of the equation
$$8 \cos \theta = 3 \operatorname { cosec } \theta$$
giving your answer, in degrees, to one decimal place.
