1 In Fig. 6, OAB is a thin bent rod, with \(\mathrm { OA } = a\) metres, \(\mathrm { AB } = b\) metres and angle \(\mathrm { OAB } = 120 ^ { \circ }\). The bent rod lies in a vertical plane. OA makes an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. The vertical height BD of B above O is \(h\) metres. The horizontal through A meets BD at C and the vertical through A meets OD at E . \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Find angle BAC in terms of \(\theta\). Hence show that $$h = a \sin \theta + b \sin \left( \theta - 60 ^ { \circ } \right) .$$
  2. Hence show that \(h = \left( a + \frac { 1 } { 2 } b \right) \sin \theta - \frac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 } b \cos \theta\). The rod now rotates about O , so that \(\theta\) varies. You may assume that the formulae for \(h\) in parts (i) and (ii) remain valid.
  3. Show that OB is horizontal when \(\tan \theta = \frac { \sqrt { 3 } b } { 2 a + b }\). In the case when \(a = 1\) and \(b = 2 , h = 2 \sin \theta - \sqrt { 3 } \cos \theta\).
  4. Express \(2 \sin \theta - \sqrt { 3 } \cos \theta\) in the form \(R \sin ( \theta - \alpha )\). Hence, for this case, write down the maximum value of \(h\) and the corresponding value of \(\theta\).
