Relative to an origin O, the position vectors of the points A and B are given by

\(\overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} p-6 \\ 2p-6 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{pmatrix} 4-2p \\ p \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\),

where \(p\) is a constant.

(i) For the case where OA is perpendicular to OB, find the value of \(p\).

(ii) For the case where OAB is a straight line, find the vectors \(\overrightarrow{OA}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OB}\). Find also the length of the line OA.
