4. A darts player throws darts at a dart board which hangs vertically. The motion of a dart is modelled as that of a particle moving freely under gravity. The darts move in a vertical plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the dart board. A dart is thrown horizontally with speed \(12.6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). It hits the board at a point which is 10 cm below the level from which it was thrown.
- Find the horizontal distance from the point where the dart was thrown to the dart board.
The darts player moves his position. He now throws a dart from a point which is at a horizontal distance of 2.5 m from the board. He throws the dart at an angle of elevation \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(\tan \alpha = \frac { 7 } { 24 }\). This dart hits the board at a point which is at the same level as the point from which it was thrown.
- Find the speed with which the dart is thrown.
