P and Q are fixed points on a line of greatest slope of an inclined plane. The point Q is at a height of 0.45 m above the level of P. A particle of mass 0.3 kg moves upwards along the line PQ.

  1. Given that the plane is smooth and that the particle just reaches Q, find the speed with which it passes through P.
  2. It is given instead that the plane is rough. The particle passes through P with the same speed as that found in part (i), and just reaches a point R which is between P and Q. The work done against the frictional force in moving from P to R is 0.39 J. Find the potential energy gained by the particle in moving from P to R and hence find the height of R above the level of P.
