3 One end of a light elastic string of natural length 1.6 m and modulus of elasticity 28 N is attached to a fixed point O. The other end of the string is attached to a particle P of mass 0.35 kg which hangs in equilibrium vertically below O. The particle P is projected vertically upwards from the equilibrium position with speed 1.8 m s−1. Calculate the speed of P at the instant the string first becomes slack. [5]
