(a) A body of mass 15 kg is suspended at a point P by two light inextensible strings \(\overrightarrow{XP}\) and \(\overrightarrow{YP}\). The strings are inclined at 60° and 40° respectively to the downward vertical. Find, correct to two decimal places, the tensionsin the strings. [Take g = \(10 ms^{-2}\)].

(b) The height h metres, of a ball thrown into the air is \(2 + 20t + kt^{2}\), after t seconds. If it takes 2 seconds for the ball to reach its highest point, find

(i) the value of k  (ii) its highest point from the point of throw.
