6 An athlete 'puts the shot' with an initial speed of \(19 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of \(11 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal. At the instant of release the shot is 1.53 m above the horizontal ground. By treating the shot as a particle and ignoring air resistance, find
  1. the maximum height, above the ground, reached by the shot,
  2. the horizontal distance the shot has travelled when it hits the ground.
