4 A stone is projected from a point on horizontal ground with speed \(25 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal, where \(\sin \theta = \frac { 4 } { 5 }\). At time 1.2 s after projection the stone passes through the point \(A\). Subsequently the stone passes through the point \(B\), which is at the same height above the ground as \(A\). Find the horizontal distance \(A B\).
