A particle P is projected from the top of a smooth ramp with speed u m s-1, and travels down a line of greatest slope. The ramp has length 6.4 m and is inclined at 30° to the horizontal. Another particle Q is released from rest at a point 3.2 m vertically above the bottom of the ramp, at the same instant that P is projected (see diagram). Given that P and Q reach the bottom of the ramp simultaneously, find

  1. the value of u,
  2. the speed with which P reaches the bottom of the ramp.
