A particle of mass 0.6 kg is placed on a rough plane which is inclined at an angle of 35° to the horizontal. The particle is kept in equilibrium by a horizontal force of magnitude \(P\) N acting in a vertical plane containing a line of greatest slope (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between the particle and plane is 0.4.

Find the least possible value of \(P\).
