The diagram shows a track \(A B C D\) which lies in a vertical plane. The section \(A B\) is a straight line inclined at an angle of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal and is smooth. The section \(B C\) is a horizontal straight line and is rough. The section CD is a straight line inclined at an angle of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal and is rough. The lengths \(A B , B C\) and \(C D\) are each 2 m .
A particle is released from rest at \(A\). The coefficient of friction between the particle and both \(B C\) and \(C D\) is \(\mu\). There is no change in the speed of the particle when it passes through either of the points \(B\) or \(C\).
- It is given that \(\mu = 0.1\).
Find the distance which the particle has moved up the section \(C D\) when its speed is \(1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).

- It is given instead that with a different value of \(\mu\) the particle travels 1 m up the track from \(C\) before it comes instantaneously to rest.
Find the value of \(\mu\) and the speed of the particle at the instant that it passes \(C\) for the second time.
