\end{figure} A small stone is projected from a point \(O\) at the top of a vertical cliff \(O A\). The point \(O\) is 52.5 m above the sea. The stone rises to a maximum height of 10 m above the level of \(O\) before hitting the sea at the point \(B\), where \(A B = 50 \mathrm {~m}\), as shown in Figure 4. The stone is modelled as a particle moving freely under gravity.
  1. Show that the vertical component of the velocity of projection of the stone is \(14 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Find the speed of projection.
  3. Find the time after projection when the stone is moving parallel to \(O B\).
