\end{figure} A particle \(P\) is projected from a point \(A\) with speed \(32 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of elevation \(\alpha\), where \(\sin \alpha = \frac { 3 } { 5 }\). The point \(O\) is on horizontal ground, with \(O\) vertically below \(A\) and \(O A = 20 \mathrm {~m}\). The particle \(P\) moves freely under gravity and passes through a point \(B\), which is 16 m above ground, before reaching the ground at the point \(C\), as shown in Figure 4. Calculate
  1. the time of the flight from \(A\) to \(C\),
  2. the distance \(O C\),
  3. the speed of \(P\) at \(B\),
  4. the angle that the velocity of \(P\) at \(B\) makes with the horizontal.
