The relation \(3t = \sqrt{3x} + 6\) describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where \(x\) is in metres and \(t\) in seconds. The displacement, when velocity is zero, is: 

1. \(24\) metres 2. \(12\) metres
3. \(5\) metres 4. zero

A particle moves along a straight line and its position as a function of time is given by \(x= t^3-3t^2+3t+3\) then particle:

1. stops at \(t=1~\text{s}\) and reverses its direction of motion.
2. stops at \(t= 1~\text{s}\) and continues further without a change of direction.
3. stops at \(t=2~\text{s}\) and reverses its direction of motion.
4. stops at \(t=2~\text{s}\) and continues further without a change of direction.
