With respect to the origin \(O\), the point \(A\) has position vector given by \(\overrightarrow{OA} = \mathbf{i} + 5\mathbf{j} + 6\mathbf{k}\). The line \(l\) has vector equation \(\mathbf{r} = 4\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{k} + \lambda (-\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} + 3\mathbf{k})\).
(a) Find in degrees the acute angle between the directions of \(OA\) and \(l\).
(b) Find the position vector of the foot of the perpendicular from \(A\) to \(l\).
(c) Hence find the position vector of the reflection of \(A\) in \(l\).
