A particle \(P\) moves freely under gravity in the plane of a fixed horizontal axis \(O x\), which lies on horizontal ground, and a fixed vertical axis \(O y . P\) is projected from \(O\) with a velocity whose components along \(O x\) and \(O y\) are \(U\) and \(V\), respectively. \(P\) returns to the ground at a point \(C\).
- Determine, in terms of \(U , V\) and \(g\), the distance \(O C\).

\(P\) passes through two points \(A\) and \(B\), each at a height \(h\) above the ground and a distance \(d\) apart, as shown in the diagram. - Write down the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of \(P\) at \(A\).
- Hence determine an expression for \(d\) in terms of \(U , V , g\) and \(h\).
- Given that the direction of motion of \(P\) as it passes through \(A\) is inclined to the horizontal at an angle \(\theta\), where \(\tan \theta = \frac { 1 } { 2 }\), determine an expression for \(V\) in terms of \(g , d\) and \(h\).
