A particle moves in a straight line. The velocity, \(\mathrm{v}\) ms\(^{-1}\), of the particle at time \(t\) seconds is given by \(\mathrm{v}(t) = t\sin{t} - 3\), for \(0 \leq t \leq 10\).
The following diagram shows the graph of \(\mathrm{v}\).

  1. Find the smallest value of \(t\) for which the particle is at rest.
